Verda Park is a new industrial Estate in Wallingford opening only a few weeks ago, it was built on some derelict land left over from when they built the Wallingford By-Pass. A few years ago planning was put in to build some industrial units and after some consideration it was granted, work started clearing the site then stopped and the epidemic took hold. A year of so ago they started work and the new buildings were soon up . I went along to visit one called Screwfix
This was taken back in 2008 and is the land where the park will be built for a while it became a lake when the top soil was removed before work could begin
and this is the road leading in
This gated part leads to a couple or lager units on had been taken buy Oxford Biomedica the other I am told will be used by Amazon
This is where the smaller units are
This is where I ended up going Screwfix where I picked up some tools I needed. Now the place is here it save me a trip to Didcot which is twice the distance from my house, this place is 5 minuets

You took some really good pictures. I like all the clouds. I wish we had more of that right now.
Sterile is the term that comesto mind for me.
There is talk that Amazon is looking for space to build here in NZ too, good for new jobs but I bet it'll be a big building.
Wow what a difference!!
I wonder why they persist in calling industrial areas "parks", who are they trying to fool? I've bought stuff from Screwfix in the past and it always seems decent quality.
We had rain today, quite a bit
I would not argue there
Its a rumour I still have to see what come up. Might be just a depot for them
Yes a big difference
I'll never know, bit like retail parks. Toolstation is good as well, similar stuff sometimes cheaper
That's a nice looking complex.
I like John's comment above. Why DO they call them "parks"???
