The old Wills tobacco factory site was shut in the 1990s and largely left to rot. Inevitably, decay and vandalism occurred but the office block was then redeveloped into upmarket apartments. With it, the man-made water features were cleared, cleaned and restocked with fish to provide a pleasant environment for the residents - just as it did for the original office staff.
