The Ferranti factory at Hollinwood was built after the Second World War on the old Bower Colliery site. In its heyday, it produced power transformers and later, it was used to for container lifting trucks as the building had the height to do so. The transformer works building is now used as a newspaper printing plant for the Manchester Evening News.
