Dist:1.0km north<br/>This is an entrance to the former Barnbow Royal Ordnance factory, now Vickers Defence Systems. The gunslits in the wall on the right show that security was once high.

The site is still in use, with smart modern buildings, so it's a shame that Vickers don't keep their back gate tidy.
