The Trimming Shop was built in the 1915-1918 Great War expansion of the Sunbeam Motor Company factory. The building was erected for the assembly of seaplanes using designs by Shorts and other manufacturers. The factory produced a range of engines designed by Louis Coatelen. During the war the factory delivered over 600 aircraft.
