History of the Rolls-Royce Parkside factory

This has been forwarded to a friend from the Rolls Royce Heritage Trust. I thought it worth sharing. Please cite RRHT if copying on

More info about the Heritage Trust here:

The former Rolls Royce works at Parkside, Cheylesmore, as they looked in 1981.


An aerial view of Parskside, not all of which belonged to Rolls-Royce!

Map showing the extent of the Parkside works in 1937:

My father worked at Siddeley-Deasy in 1920, and in later years his partner had worked at Burlington.

A few more pictures of the factory. (The pictures with the Hunter are definitely not Parkside, more likely Bitteswell)

Good photos!

That test pilot looks familiar.....
