Now a site for a disputed office development, the former sweet factory has an unusual and sad air. Maybe it's the abandoned and dead plants in the foyer, the abandoned trailers in the yard, or maybe it's the security gatehouse that reminds you of a security house from the movies - normally as some high security underground missile base. Demolished in early 2003.
