Swallow Road was the home of the Swallow Sidecar Company from 1928, which became Jaguar Cars Ltd. in 1945. In 1951 the Jaguar factory moved to Brown's Lane, which had been its shadow factory during the second world war. The Swallow Road site was later sold to Dunlop. https://www.jaguarheritage.com/jaguar-history/jaguar-people/harry-teather/
