A small landscaped park area is at the junction of Lea Road with the A449 Penn Road. Here we look across it towards the junction of Retreat Street with Penn Street. The white house has a very interesting history, being part of the original AJS motor cycle factory until 1917. A very comprehensive account of the site can be seen here http://www.historywebsite.co.uk/Museum/Transport/Cars/AJSfactories/RetreatStreet/RetreatSt.htm Image]
