Dist:0.1km<br/>Still not yet occupied 12 months after [[921728]] was taken. The duckling on the poster on the building to the right advises customers of some 'quacking deals'.

Dist:0.2km<br/>This date stone seems very out of place in its current location [[628110]]

Dist:0.2km<br/>The date stone (detail here [[628100]]) looks very out of place on this small shop which looks to date from the 1960s rather than the 1930s but a much larger building has left its shadow upon the neighbouring gable. The building in question was a shop belonging to the Long Eaton Co-op (information thanks to Patrick Oakes).

For why this is called Depot corner see [[628121]]

Dist:0.2km<br/>Unlike its near neighbour [[677748]] this company appears to be still busy.

Dist:0.2km<br/>I don't know when this company moved out of Long Eaton to this site on Bye Pass Road in Chilwell, but it closed around 3 years ago and slowly but surely the buildings are being demolished.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Looking in the opposite direction to [[628096]]. This is the section of Bye Pass Road which forms part of the A6005.

Dist:0.2km<br/>At this corner High Road, Chilwell continues as Chetwynd Road, while the main traffic route turns left and becomes Attenborough Lane. A few hundred yards ahead Chetwynd Road becomes part of the Chetwynd Barracks which, by the look of the buildings visible from around the site is an ordnance storage facility - hence Depot Corner as that has long been known locally as Chilwell depot (thanks to Patrick Oakes for that information).

Dist:0.2km<br/>Work has started on new housing on the site of Long Eaton Textile Services [[677746]] about three and a half years after it was demolished [[686241]].
