Can

A can has been thrown across the building and stamped on. This shed, instead of being refurbished for local use (as was intended after the closure of the plant by Imerys, the china clay giant) is now non existent and replaced by expensive housing, the asking price of which cannot be matched by the local workers forced out of a job handed down through generations.
