Future of the Pebble Mill plot

Here is a screen-grab from the brochure publicising the sale of different plots on the Pebble Mill site.

Work seems to be finally starting on the former Pebble Mill site – there are some fancy new security huts, and a couple of former Pebble Millers have had chats with the security guard – who was probably grateful for someone to talk to.  Plots 1, 4 and 6 are still available if anyone fancies them.  Plot 6 seems to be the BBC Club and field, and Plot 1 the Pebble Mill Nursery, and Plot 4 seems to be part of the back car park.

The main building is going to be a private dental hospital.
