More about this scene
The fact that is was possible to park on the side of the hill without a problem makes this photograph one to be treasured. The building on the left is K Block, with F Block on the right. K Block housed the greater part of the marketing and sales functions for the company. Scaffolding on the right indicates that the Bedford van production facility was undergoing an upgrade, and building works immediately beyond the bridge (which also contained part of the van production line) were part of a major expansion of the local infrastructure to accommodate the growing workforce.
