In fact if you look at the tall tower in close up it is does look very much like their work. This to my knowledge is a very rare example of thier work. |

The factory was camouflaged in the 1940's by a unit based in leamington, is that what we are seeing on the roofs and towers or just weathering? |

This is the Lockheed Hydraulic Brake Co. Ltd. factory in Leamington Spa. It went on to become the Automotive Products Group. The road at the bottom is Tachbrook Road, and the view direction is west north west. This factory started to be built in 1931, so this photo was probably taken in the late 1930's or early 1940's. It was certainly not as early as May 1920 as suggested in the image details. |
