Originally Crossley Motors, then Fairey Aviation (yes they built aircraft here) and known for a spell as "National Aircraft Factory No 2" this is now a light industrial estate, with a small part used by the engineering successors to Fairey, now making bridges.
Products from here included the Fairey Beaufighter, and many Crossley engines and some cars.
The Fairey Band retains their rehearsal room in this estate which is known as "Errwood Park Works"
The buildings at the back, at an angle, were the old car works. '
