| The three pictures here show an area which has greatly changed. The clock tower area has been paved and new roads have been laid out to take traffic away from The Broadway. The end few houses and Chapel of Chapel Road in the top picture, and Woolwich Road the side road in the second, have disapeared. Much of the area has been demolished and replaced with a new shopping mall, leisure facilities, and Civic buildings. During the redevelopment several World War II bombs were uncovered, In the latest stage of redevelopment, to the East of the clock tower, (the buildings which can be seen behind the Clock Tower) businesses were closed and residents in the area were evacuated for two days when another WWII bomb was discovered on the 18 April 2000.
