We were here to photograph a disused steam engine that used to drive a large propeller type ventilating fan in this old factory. This site was part of a local redevelopment when, in August 2007, it was consumed by a catastrophic fire, probably deliberate. The site has now been cleared. The fate of the engine is unknown.
