Offices, Perry Wood Walk, Worcester
Deco offices built originally for Metal Box, by S.N. Cooke, 1930-31.
At the time the site, including a large factory behind, was occupied by Crown Works, but unfortunately the whole thing has since been bulldozed for a Taylor Wimpey housing development.

Crown factory, Worcester
Photographed through a fence and screening vegetation. This is a large works between the railway and Perry Wood. Meaningful photography is difficult.
The site belong to Crown Food Europe and is a food packaging plant using two piece and three piece cans. It was previously known as Metal Box prior to its takeover in 1996. There is concern over its future due to a changing market.
