Well, it was Doncasters Monk Bridge to give it the correct title.Like much of Leeds in days gone by, things were actually made there - fancy that, a company existing by turning out an actual end product, rather than just shifting numbers around a spreadsheet!I could be wrong but weren't they involved in something to do with the aerospace industry towards the end of production?There is a good pic on Leodis that shows the site and surrounding area in it's prime:http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?reso ... _169340The skyscraper(s) that were planned for the site never got off the ground as they failed to shift enough "off plan" units to enable the project to get underway and the whole site, including the sales office, was mothballed. Much like several other nearby developments.
