BMA Ltd of Tuxford, Newark are in the process of building 14 residential properties on a plot of land sandwiched between the rear gardens (or backyards) of the existing terraced houses on Recreation Road and the tower in the distance. St Peter's Way (i.e. the A60/A6006) passes between the tower - situated in a former quarry known as Rock Valley - and one side of a natural rock embankment 75 metres behind this new house. The entrance to this small new-build development will be behind where the photographer was standing. The domed clocktower is the only structure remaining on the former Metal Box Company factory site in the former quarry in question.
