Description:This view was taken on Queensville Bridge on the A34 Lichfield Road, looking west across the almost completely flattened site. Over the years most of this area was occupied by High-Voltage Switchgear, the Engineering and Nelson Research Laboratories, Mechanical Laboratories and the Fabrication unit. On the right and waiting to be demolished are the remains of the large bay known as 68 Bay which was part of the Turbine Generator factory. In the distance can be seen housing on Ranshaw Drive and Abberley Grove.
