Seen looking across the recently widened Ring Road at Penn Road Island. This is where the A449 to Kidderminster leaves the city. Sunbeam, registered in 1888, was once famous for its motorcycles and cars, but the 120,000 square feet (1.12 hectare) site off the Penn Road island has been empty since 1999. It has been purchased in 2013, and planning permission has been sought for a range of residential developments. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunbeam_%28car_company%29
