Built in the late ’60s, the automotive manufacturing plant closed its doors in 2011 and was torn down bit by bit over the coming years. A solar installation was proposed for the site but the clean energy project fell through.
Possible uses for the land abound. A popular story is that Amazon.com Inc. is building its latest hub on the site south of London. If this should come to pass, what a blow to the local economy compared to the old Ford plant days. Ford employed thousands and paid damn fine wages. Amazon low balls its workers when it come to wages.

Amazon is a blight.
I don't believe I have ever bought anything from or through Amazon. I am totally amazed that this is a successful company. One could not tell that it was successful from the purchases made by folk in my home.
