An OS cutmark on the front wall of the former school, now the Park Village Youth, Media & Activity Centre (although I have to say, it looked pretty firmly closed the day I passed). Mark originally levelled at 128.571m above Ordnance Datuim Newlyn.

Guy Motors, Park Village
Founded by Sidney Guy in 1913 the company produced military vehicles during the First World War. Between the wars Guy Motors built commercial vehicles, coaches and trolleybuses. They were unsuccessful with car production. During the Second World War they were the only company with spare capacity available to build buses. They ran into difficulties in the 1950s as trolleybuses went out of fashion and their other bus designs became dated. The firm went into receivership in 1961, eventually being taken over by Jaguar before coming under BMC. Production or assembly continued on the site until the 1970s. Most of the original buildings have been demolished. Part of the site is now used as an industrial estate.
