Former Avanta Seeds site The buildings are being demolished and the site cleared for redevelopment.  The hoardings advertise new office accommodation although I wonder what business will want to be located in Docking.

Choseley Road looking north A beautiful June morning - but not so good if you are taking the kids to the beach at half term.  Ahead can be seen low grey cloud which is hugging the north coast leaving Brancaster Beach in cold mist.
