Magson Close: Site of old people's home

I don’t recall the name of the old person’s home; however it was located at the top of Magson Close with the north side facing out onto Jersey Gardens side of the Alcester public house. The site was cleared, most likely in 2005, and remained empty for quite some time. Construction work began in late 2010, and today a number of new houses are at an advanced stage nearing completion. The site is surrounded by a tall white tarpaulin fence and it is difficult to see what is on the site today, I was only able to take two photographs near the main site entrance top of Magson Close.

 This 2007 photo shows the site from above with Wray Close on the left. Magson Close is the road on the right of the photograph.
