This factory shed was part of Coventry Ordnance Works, a large site between Stoney Stanton Road, Red Lane and the canal where armaments were made between 1900 and 1925. https://www.gracesguide.co.uk/Coventry_Ordnance_Co https://www.gracesguide.co.uk/Coventry_Ordnance_Works A plan of the site marks this building as containing the large machine shop, large erecting shop and large gun bay. https://www.gracesguide.co.uk/File:ImV103-p547.jpg The works closed in 1925, but, while the part of the factory on Ordnance Road, off Stoney Stanton Road, has long since been demolished, this unit has survived. It was in use as a warehouse for many years but now appears to be empty.
