Part of the former British Sugar site, Stourport Road, Kidderminster
This is just a very small part of the former British Sugar Corporation site, which had a long frontage to Stourport Road (the A451) and stretched back to its boundary with the line of the Staffs & Worcs Canal. It was used as a sugar beet processing and production plant for many decades but closed some years ago, thanks mainly to increasing competition from imported sugar cane. It was well-known for the unattractive smells that emanated from the factory and when the wind was in a certain direction could be experienced in neighbouring Stourport-on-Severn.
In recent weeks most, but not all, of the many buildings on the site have been flattened. Much hazardous waste has had be removed. The site is planned to be used for "mixed development" but in the present economic climate it seems probable that this will be phased over some years.
Some very evocative photographs by Elle Dunn of the closed factory, both exterior and interior and in colour and monochrome, can be seen on a website called contaminationzone.

Larch Wood Farm under construction (3), Silverwoods Way, Kidderminster, Worcs
Greene King Pubs are building this food focussed restaurant/pub on a triangular plot adjacent to the Leisure Centre. It will be part of their Farmhouse Inns brand and is the first business of this type to open in the town for many years. It will no doubt get much custom from visitors to the Leisure Centre and from residents of the many housing developments which are also being built on much of the vast former sugarbeet factory site. Opening is scheduled for March 2019. The building will include staff accommodation which presumably will be on the first floor.
