A reminder of the Armstrong Siddeley factory site in Parkside. The nearby plaque reads: "On this Coventry University Technology Park site once stood a world famous company renowned for its expertise in the production of quality cars, aero and rocket engines. That company was Armstrong Siddeley Motors Limited 1919-1959. It merged with Bristol Engines Limited to become Bristol Siddeley Engines Limited 1959-1966 then merging with Rolls-Royce. The site was cleared in 1996, the remaining production having moved to the Rolls-Royce factory at Ansty. This ironwork once formed part of the No. 2 gate into the Parkside factory."
