What Wiki doesn't mention is that you can smell the Lea and Perrins factory from over half a mile away if the wind is in the right (or should that be wrong?) direction.

Further than that on a good day Tim

I'll believe you. I'm must going off what Mrs TLW says about it when her office base was in Worcester.

Though for really pungent aromas Burton takes some beating - an assortment of breweries, the Branston pickle factory and the Marmite works....

Where did she work Tim, if you don't mind me enquiring.
 
I recall playing cricket in Burton-on-Trent many years ago and I certainly remember the smell of the (Marstons?) brewery nearby to the ground.

Seeing that you two boys are fine connoisseurs of long distance aroma's, one must make it a point to experience the lovely fragrance that emanates from a local swine farm.......simply breathtaking!!

Mmmm, Worcestershire sauce. Good stuff on any beef!
 
On a positive smell, I use to live near a commercial bakery that mass produced cupcakes and ho ho's and donuts, I think it was the Doilly Madison line. I'll bet just passing by and smelling all the cakes and stuff made my blood sugar jump.

I live on the edge of Worcester overlooking a couple of local farms Mesh. Years ago, every April regular as clockwork they'd be out in the fields 'muck-spreading' the farms' stockpile of pig sh1t to use as fertiliser. Bad as the smell was, it was preferable to the vile stench of the fish-meal based stuff they use nowadays

I also lived about 5 miles from a "pig farm", and still got the stench when the wind blew in our direction. The new housing development in that farm area was about 1/3 less than rest of Vegas. Of course, there was an opportunity to get your "dream house"........albeit suffering at a "small" price.

All I know is that beer distilleries do NOT smell nearly as nice as you'd expect them to!
