When Calor Gas closed down in the 1990s the land was redeveloped and a Netto Store was built. (Home Bargains in 2012)
A new road was built to access the store and named Peck Way in honour of the Peck family.
The road extends into a housing development on the land adjoining, which included a pocket park accessed at the top of Crane Close.
In 2018 the development on a small plot of land where Peck Way joins North Street is new flats named 'Peck House'.
