Windsor Bumper aka The Wickes Bumper Manufacturing Plant. Closed in 1990, it was used briefly to house storage for a production company but sat mostly abandoned until 2014 when it was set on fire and nearly destroyed. Recently what remains of the factory has been re-purposed into a U haul storage and vehicle outlet. Information on the site, the fire and the redevelopment can be found in the links below.
