Aldermoor Works: Photographic Survey

A survey of the former Aldermoor Works site made in 1979 at closure, comprising 84 plates with grid references keyed to the site plan.

Plates and grid references

The survey comprises 84 plates, each captioned with a grid reference keyed to the site plan of 1979. Two plates — 61 and 62 — carry references that fall outside the works boundary, on the line of the Aldermoor Cut. These are the monitoring boreholes, sunk by the Borough in 1971.

The first quarterly monitoring return for the site is dated 8 April 1971. Returns continue on a reducing schedule until 20 November 1984.

The works closed in 1979. The site was cleared in 1986 and the Lowfield Rise estate was built over it between 1989 and 1993.
