Magnavale Easton Phase II

Easton Cold Store has changed hands a few times in my lifetime, but has always majored on the manufacture and distribution of potato products. The latest owner, Magnavale, has massively expanded the business and variations in products, and is now investing further in what they say will be the "Greenest, Most-Efficient UK Cold Store". Their web site says "the 101,000 pallet cold store development known as Magnavale Easton II accompanies an existing 44,000 pallet cold store located on the same site. Once built, the site will house a huge 145,000 pallet positions, the majority of which will be fully-automated. The facility, due in Q2 2024, will be run entirely on renewable energy."

It's called Dumpling Farm

A splendid spring morning in Burton Lane, the verges bright with cowslips. The wood behind the house is Pasture Holt, the farm itself is Dumpling Farm. There are several woodland called Holt hereabouts, it is an Old English, Germanic, word for woodland.
