Halls Factory Demolition

March 2008 sees the end of an era as Halls Factory is finally demolished. Halls employed many local people since the 1950's and countless folk will be saddened to see these pictures. However, the empty, decaying building was fast becoming an eyesore and demolition is the way forward for the regeneration of the village.
