Dist:0.2km<br/>One of many industrial units placed as close as planning allows to the pavement and to allow ease of access to maintain their plant. I thought Planning Authorities had the power to insist that industrial buildings were bordered with some decorative vegetation such as grass, hedges, shrubs, trees or even, dare I say it flowering plants where they meet public thoroughfares and rights of way. Even now, there are very few business sites in the area that have any 'landscaping' at all.

Dist:0.3km<br/>How can people afford to build so many industrial units that remain empty? Is it grants from the local authority, Regional Authorities, central government, European Union? Where is the landscaping,parks, green spaces, footpaths to walk across the area rather than have to walk for miles to get from one side to the other? Somehow, I don't think the planners, politicians or owners live in this area.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Disused steelworks of Steel, Peech, and Tozer, now a science adventure centre. The four hoppers are the receivers for the air cleaning equipment, and the green ducts above carried the dust etc. from the mill.
