Technology Drive, Rugby
Technology Drive is a relatively new road that crosses the former GEC works site. As it connects the railway station with Junction 1 retail park and Leicester Road, it has already become an important thoroughfare even though building work is still taking place. On the left is Rugby College, opened in 2010 with specialist facilities for engineering, construction, hair and beauty and catering. This view was taken early on a sunny September morning as a schoolboy ambled towards his place of education.

Something stirs in the basement - GEC Machines, Rugby
Three single cylinder non-rotative condensate return pumps in a basement under the powerhouse. I wonder how often anybody looked in to ensure their health and happiness.
