IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Juno Drive, LEAMINGTON SPA, CV31 3AJ

Wolseley is a major distributor of building materials and products, so their facility here is a vast two-part warehouse. This is the north-east corner of the western building, the same as appears in Image Photo taken at normal eye-level.

A view between recently-built business units and factories in Harrison Way, Spa Park. A shocking number of premises in the area are closed, to let or for sale. In the distance is the south side of the very large Aga/Rangemaster building (over a hectare in area). The west side of this building appears on the left of Image

If those are economic storm clouds, are they coming or going? It was mid-afternoon and the area was eerily quiet. This view is towards Wolseley's western building and Juno Drive. Plastic Engineering (Leamington), right, appears closed. While I was wandering about looking suspicious a woman parked her car in Juno Drive and walked her 13-year old retired greyhound round the landscaping.

OS can't keep pace with all the new businesses and industrial premises, and new roads to serve them, springing up on the site of the huge old Automotive Products works and other industrial estates in south Leamington. These units are at the small end of the scale.

A large industrial estate to the south of the town. It is dominated by buildings occupied by Woolsley - the plumbing supplies company.

On the extreme left is a unit in Jephson Court/Tancred Close. Straight ahead is the rear of Aga/Rangemester off Juno Drive (they have another site pictured in this square). On the right is an estate of shoebox houses - Sapphire Drive and Emerald Way.

OS can't keep pace with all the new businesses and industrial premises, and new roads to serve them, springing up on the site of the huge old Automotive Products works and other industrial estates in south Leamington. Here is Aga/Rangemaster on the left and, centre, part of the enormous new Wolseley site. They are a major distributor of building products. The Timber Centre, right, is at the end of Hermes Close, off Tachbrook Park Drive (pictured, this and adjacent squares). Note the absurd and continuing dalliance with Greek mythology for the purpose of naming roads.

The huge area once covered by Automotive Products has been redeveloped piecemeal over a decade or so. Hermes Court is occupied by a number of smaller businesses. The building on the left is the Timber Centre seen in Image The north end of Wolseley's vast western building looms in the background.

This is the north-west corner of the building seen from the old works road in Image The bank is not part of a landscaped bund to screen the loading bays, it is raised ground.

On 16 November 2020 the Leamington Spa Courier reported their belief that one of two new UK Covid-19 mega-labs would be built in south Leamington to carry out large-scale Covid-19 diagnostic testing. The BBC had reported on 7 December 2017 that Wolseley (owners of Plumb Centre) would close its UK HQ in Leamington and 98 UK branches within 18 months. Image
