Longbridge Factory

My Dad worked in the stores department, he was a shop steward in the early 70's. is there any photos of the workers?. other than outside the Gates.
 
Came across this phot for sale on Ebay. Said to be tank assembly at Longbridge Plant about 1941. Never heard of that before [I knew they made aeroplanes for the war effort] . Can anyone vouch for this or identify it as Longbridge from roof structure etc?

By the look of it that’s a Crusader tank, apparently they were built primarily at the Nuffield factory on Drews Lane. Can’t find any evidence that Crusaders were assembled at Longbridge.IMG_2849.webp
