White Rock Close, PAIGNTON, TQ4 7FX

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.

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.

The works, seen here alongside the A3022 Brixham Road, are part of the major White Rock redevelopment scheme, which will eventually provide more than 30,000 square metres of employment floor space, around 1,200 jobs, 350 homes, a local centre, public open space and all-weather sports pitches, allotments and greater access into the countryside for local residents. The blue and white building on the left is the former Devon Ceramics warehouse. See also: Image

The building stands at the end of Waddeton Close, in an area undergoing significant redevelopment. 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.

Located just off the Brixham Road. The sign on the left states that a project to level and drain two existing football pitches at the recreation ground will be completed by spring 2004 - so it is probably done by now!

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

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 derelict house on the Brixham Road has continued to decline since the last photograph over three years ago. The window upstairs on the left was visible at that time, but it has now been covered completely by ivy.Image]
