The frontage of the former Sentinel Waggon Works at Ditherington. The company had a long and illustrious history, originally being formed as a subsidiary of a Glasgow-based manufacturer of steam-powered vehicles around 1915. A fuller history is here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentinel_Waggon_Works on Wikipedia. The site was in due course taken over by Rolls Royce, who also produced the Perkins diesel engines here for a long while.
