The entrance sign to the development of the old Wills tobacco factory site. In the background is the original office block that is made with exposed Cor-ten steel and was a prominent local landmark. Once the factory closed in the 1990s the block remained abandoned until a major investment brought a conversion into luxury apartments, with a generous extra coating of plastic to provide cover for the atrium.
