Videos of the Now-Demolished Woodley Factory
A collection of videos showing the surviving buildings of the former Phillips & Powis — later Miles Aircraft — factory at Woodley, all designed in 1938 by the modernist architect Guy Morgan and officially opened by the Air Minister Sir Kingsley Wood on 29th January 1939. Filmed largely on 10th August 2022, just a few days before Thermal Management Solutions reluctantly closed down this well-known engineering site after ending production of automotive engine parts at the end of July.
Their departure sadly brings to an end 83 years of continuous engineering activity in these buildings, which made such an important contribution to both Woodley's history and to this country's aviation and automotive industries.
