South end of Athena Drive, Tachbrook Park, Warwick/Leamington
Tachbrook Park has evolved into a mix of business, retail and leisure uses. It was a response to the approach of the M40 extension in the 1980s, filling in the urban fringe farmland between existing industrial estates south of Leamington. Developers on Tachbrook Park seem to have competed to put up the ugliest building. On the left, the offices of Bridgestone. Beyond it are two wings of Athena Court, a cluster of smaller office buildings. On the right is the rear of the Renault dealership and beyond it is Orion House, now occupied by part of the county council.

Tachbrook Park Drive, Leamington
The road becomes more leafy as it goes south. Tachbrook Park has evolved into a mix of business, retail and leisure uses. It was a response to the approach of the M40 extension in the 1980s, filling in the urban fringe farmland between existing older industrial estates south of Leamington. Parts of those have been redeveloped or await redevelopment.

Cycleway, Heathcote, Warwick/Leamington
Although it looks lightly-used it provides a handy short link between the older Heathcote Industrial Estate and the newer Tachbrook Park. Here it crosses a miraculously surviving stream that gives its name to Brook Farm on its way to join the River Avon at Myton

Peugeot dealership, Tachbrook Park Drive, Leamington
The showroom was undergoing a refit, hence this more-than-usually casual strewing of the stock over the surrounding area. This is one of several car dealerships on this road.

Leamington's other telephone exchange
The radio mast is a bit of a giveaway! This anonymous building in the industrial estates in south Leamington houses the cable TV company's telephone exchange serving subscibers in Leamington and the surrounding towns. BT's exchange for historical reasons is near the centre of the town.
