Subject: Large explosion at trading estate in Slough

Large explosion at trading estate
A fire has broken out following an explosion at a Berkshire trading estate.
Police, the ambulance service and fire crews were called to the Slough Trading Estate after a "large explosion" was reported at 1000 GMT.
A spokeswoman for Thames Valley Police said a 200m (656ft) cordon was in place around a business unit and four fire crews were at the scene.
It is still unclear if anybody has been injured in the blast.
The 462-acre (1,869,648 sq m) business park was made famous as the location for the BBC television comedy series The Office, though the building affected is not that shown in the programme's opening credits.
An eyewitness told the BBC they could see "lots of smoke and activity of emergency services personnel".

A Business District sort of. Offices, warehouses, factories all in one location. No stores but might have car repairs, trade shops for plumbers etc.

What we might call an "industrial park."
The explosion was at the rubber manufacturing site. Yuck, what a mess!
