Henry Meadows Ltd was founded in 1920 to produce three speed gearboxes for cars. They quickly expanded into petrol and later diesel engines for military and commercial vehicles, boats and trains. In the 1950s the site covered an area of 14 acres with a workforce of 1200. The site closed in 1960 and had lain derelict for many years before the factory units were refurbished as warehousing. A clothing manufacturer now occupies part of the original buildings.
