Viewed from Tower Road, on the south side. The ball bearing factory of Ransome and Marles originally occupied this site. They built a large factory here in 1954 which employed 2000 people in its heyday, but closed in 1982. I think this was the site of the main entrance, hence the layby beside the road.
