Former Whitehead Company Western hangars used by Union Construction Company and successors, a subsidiary of the Underground Electric Railways of London combine. The premises were used between 1925 and 1932 for major modifications to existing Central London Railway cars, construction of cars for London tube and District Railways, and to build fleets of tram cars ('Felthams') and trolleybuses for London.

Hangars of Whitehead Aircraft Ltd (1915-1919), founded by John Alexander Whitehead. The name 'Whitehead Aircraft' can just be made out on the hangar doors in this photo. Whitehead Aircraft was a Sopwith sub-contractor, building 'Pup' single seat fighters. These were test flown from Whitehead's adjoining Hanworth Park aerodrome by test pilot Herbert Sykes OBE. Hanworth Park House was used as a Red Cross hospital for injured servicemen during WWI. The British Pathé website has a few short film clips, circa. 1917, showing the 'Mothers Day' celebrations at Hanworth Park, a line up of Sopwith Pups, and 'A Wonderful Airman - Mr Sykes'in his Martinsyde twin-seater bi-plane (in which he regularly performed the aerobatic displays recounted in 'Flight' Magazine) http://preview.tinyurl.com/d4e5xpy http://preview.tinyurl.com/ccs4bbg http://preview.tinyurl.com/bv9tva5 http://preview.tinyurl.com/dxcz54a
