ICI was a former significant industrial company in the district with the origins of this site dating back to the 1870's.

Whilst this is not a formal heritage trail we have included these landmarks for information purposes.

Much of the features are on private land and are non accessible to the general public.

This site is under redevelopment and many of these landmarks have been demolished or will be.
