Industry Square

Industry Square

Industry Square is at the bottom of what was Industry Street. It used to be important as the site of a pond used by village farmers to water and wash livestock. Now it is notable as the site of The War Memorial and a plaque commemorating AVM "Johnnie" Johnson who was born in Warner Street.

Nearby are woodcarvings made by a former resident, Tom Rennocks, as part of the Millennium celebrations. One side shows the imagined view here at Industry Square with its pond. The other shows the scene at the Soar Bridge.

Note, also, the corner shop typically found on streets of this age. ( There are more in Warner Street.)
