A new housing development on the former Terry’s chocolate factory site in York. The title borrows the language of property advertising, where places are reduced to availability, value and terms.

But beneath the new development is the history of Terry’s - another chapter in the story of the chocolate industry and the changing ownership and use of industrial sites. The painting plays with the tension between what a place was, what it has become, and the economic forces that shape what comes next.
