On December 28th 2015 a massive fire destroyed these factories. It is thought that the blaze was caused by an electrical fault which started in a recycling centre within the site and involved large amounts of burning plastic before it spread to other business units, including a sofa storage unit, a mattress company and a vehicle storage business.
