This week’s aerial photograph shows Whitebirk Industrial estate taking shape in the early 1980s.
DIY stores dominated the original development built on the former power station site with MFI and Payless taking large premises.
You can also make out a large Currys story and Allied Carpets. The dual carriageway cuts across the photograph but the main motor dealerships which now line it had yet to move in.
