This is the Smoking Gun picture taken 8th December 2013, 3 weeks before Crest had Planning Permission.

At the very top of the picture you can see the excavation removing the contaminated soil from the old Workshop area. Below that you can see two Volvo dumpers parked on the clean material cover. Below that you can see the dark layer of contaminated material awaiting cover with clean. And in the lower left you can see the bunded area where the contaminated material was supposed to be stored, but is clearly empty, and was later filled with clean material

This is Isles in 1988, and you can see the dark roofed workshop buildings in the area excavated above

This is the Old Workshops, where most contamination was found
