Lakeshore development
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.

Lakeshore in green
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.

Lakeshore's new Copper Building
The old Wills tobacco factory site has been extensively redeveloped into a retail park and some expensive housing opportunities. Originally bought in the late 1960s, the site was landscaped to include man-made lakes, supplied by the local Pigeonhouse stream.

Whitchurch Lane
The lane runs below the more modern dual-carriageway and as it is close to the Pigeonhouse Stream the lane has had problems with flooding in the past.

Old Imperial Tobacco Head Quarters
This was called the Podium, and from its basement was a tunnel to the factory which has been pulled down. BBC used the tunnel in early Dr Who shots. It is now being converted into accommodation.
