Dist:0.2km<br/>Knapps Lane, Fishponds Trading Estate, featuring a variety of industrial architectural styles. Of particular note is the arched building on the left. Although too small to be recognisable, The Dower House at Stoke Park is also in this shot - it's the yellow smudge at the left-hand end of the horizon. This shot was taken from the back of a lorry while unloading at one of the factories.
