Sunderland Enterprise Park East
The area seen in the photo used to be a shipbuilding slipway in the Austin and Pickersgill Shipyard until the yard was closed in 1988 (the river Wear is behind the photographer).
The yard was subsequently demolished and converted into an 'Enterprise Park' (office / light factory space for small businesses) which is what you see in the photo.

This cast concrete sculpture stands beside the world-famous C2C cycle route near the north bank of the River Wear. It almost certainly graced the River Wear Trail which predated the establishment of the C2C.

Pop Factory
This is where they make the locally famous Villa range of pops. Ironically some local japesters lobbed a half-full can of Barr's Irn-Bru at us from their speeding 4X4 just prior to us finding this factory.
