Monks Risborough: Former Aston & Full factory
Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 30 Mar 2008
According to the noticeboard on the left, this modern industrial unit in Mill Lane has recently been purchased by Croudace Homes http://www.croudacehomes.co.uk/ with a view to redeveloping the site for residential use, and is a typical example of a change in use to satisfy demand for houses. Offset against this is the loss of employment opportunities for local people. A Google search revealed little about Aston & Full although it would appear that the production of packaging materials, and maybe paper cups in particular, might have been the function of the factory.
