"The photo above is approximately the same view as the early photo below.  Both photos were taken from about the same position.

In the recent photo:

-  The buildings to the left are the remnants of the ICI factory,  now split up and under various owners.

-   The large green shed to the right belongs to a company called Finnforest who are the successors to the Muirhead Timber Company."
