Eight Acre Court, PAIGNTON, TQ4 7FR

This new roundabout at the industrial estate isn't on my 2002 OS Explorer.

This distribution warehouse stands at the end of Waddeton Close in an area of significant redevelopment. The building is currently disused, and looks to be due for demolition.

This building is clearly currently disused, though is architecturally unusual, and may be being preserved. RDL Meters have relocated onto the nearby Westfield Business Park.

The new Energy Centre stands near to the remains of the old STC factory which was demolished some years ago, but not the central tower which supports a transmission mast of some type. The old tower can be seen in the background of the picture.

Viewed over the car park on a Saturday morning. To quote from their website: 'EPIC is a modern purpose-built innovation centre dedicated to electronics and photonics companies. In addition to modern labs and offices, EPIC also has technical capability to support R&D, Design and New Product Development'.

The view from behind the South West Energy Centre. The Passiv Haus is in the distance on the left.

The Centre aims to help to fuel an economic recovery in Torbay and South Devon, driving demand and ensuring manufacturers, suppliers and installers have the skilled workforce needed, directly leading to the creation of many private sector jobs. (Information from southwestenergycentre.co.uk website, which is no longer online). On the far right is the Passivhaus - built to showcase dramatically reduced need for space heating and cooling.

The A3022 runs for a short distance in this grid square, passing White Rock and White Rock School. It is part of the bypass of Paignton. There is no access to the school from the main road

These derelict farm buildings point to a world that existed before the streams of traffic that pour in and out of Brixham all through the year, but most particularly in the summer holiday season. The Brixham Road (the Torbay Ring Road) that currently lies between the photographer and the building was no doubt once relatively quiet. However, it is hard to conceive nowadays that livestock might once have been moved along it. But these buildings attest to the fact that this farm was once a working one and quite large.
