This is a view along Westmead Lane, now rather different today. Not so long ago it was a large industrial site, mainly occupied by Hygrade Foods (a meat products company), but they were sold to a Danish firm who consequently moved their operations elsewhere and left the area derelict. The local council have now approved the site to become a modern residential opportunity - but first the old factories have had to come down. See Image] for another view.
