Hi all, just thought I'd post these shots on here of how the Wilmott Breeden, Stirchley site has changed over the last 2 years. I missed out on exploring this place by the narrowest of margins, and really wish I had!!! A mate of mine worked there as a toolmaker, 28 years ago, and has VERY fond memories of the place. I understand it later became Rockwell International? Correct me if I'm wrong.
This looked to be a HUGE place, employing hundreds of people at any one time. I'm really after old pitucres of it if anyone has any. I know he didn't work at any of the other sites around Brum, so is just interested in stories and photo's from this one.
This is how it looked, all ready for demolition(taken from Google street view)
And this is the conversion of what was left after the demo crews moved in.............
And here is how it looked from the air...........
