Bobbers Mill: Ascot Road as it was

Image: © John Sutton Taken: 20 Nov 2009

This fairly dull 2009 picture has acquired some small historical value since Ascot Works - on the right - was demolished in May 2013. Collins Cash & Carry occupies the former factory building on the left. Alan Murray-Rust's Image] shows Ascot Works from Bobbers Mill Bridge; my Image] and Image] show the site after demolition. The Wheatsheaf, straight ahead on the corner of Nuthall Road and Aspley Lane, has closed since this photograph was taken.
