Development on the former GEC works site at Rugby
Looking down from the Viaduct Cycleway, the transformation of this part of Rugby can be appreciated. What was once part of the sprawling GEC (before that BTH) site is now used for housing and retail. The spine of this new neighbourhood is Technology Drive, running west-east from Leicester Road to Mill Road. Most of the land to the north is now a retail park, although there remains an industrial plant and there is some housing; to the south there is mostly housing as well as a further education college. In this view the housing in the foreground is on Humphrey Close, part of the St Modwen 'Edison Place' development, and Wickes DIY outlet can be seen in the background. Immediately above the Wickes sign the two towers visible are on the Junction 1 Retail park. In the distance is Brownsover housing estate.

Butterfield Gardens, Rugby
Butterfield Gardens is a new housing estate currently being developed by Taylor Wimpey on former GEC works land to the south of Technology Drive. This is the junction between Technology Drive and Barnaby Road which leads into the development. The twee names builders love to give their developments are usually quickly forgotten once all the houses have been sold.
