This is the back entrance (from Broad Lane) to the former Massey Ferguson Works, Coventry. Although the facade of the offices (and the tower block) facing Banner Lane have been left standing, this is all that remains of the works. The house builders' sales office is already in place at the far end of the site.

The Massey Ferguson flag still flies over one of the office blocks on this site which occupies almost a 3rd of the area of this square. Unfortunately the orange heaps just visible over the roof are all that is left of most of the factory as the demolition teams clear the site.

Two hours after the demolition of the former Massey Ferguson tower block and mechanical grabbers are at work clearing the debris. In the background are houses built on the former factory site in the past five years or so.

Approximately one hour after the former Massey Ferguson tower block had been demolished by controlled explosion and the top of the remains can just be seen behind the Spar shop on the skyline. At this time Banner Lane was still closed whilst damping down of dust and clearance of any stray debris took place.

People inspecting the remains of the former Massey Ferguson office block two hours after its demolition by controlled explosion. Most of the area of the factory has now been redeveloped with housing and shops and it is expected that a primary school will be constructed in this last part.

This 17-storey tower block was built for Massey Ferguson (later Agco) in 1965. The 1930's Massey Ferguson factory buildings which stood behind the tower have been demolished and new housing is gradually taking its place. The tower block stands empty at the moment and its future is uncertain. It makes an appearance in photos from several other points: Image (2005), Image (2005), Image (2006) Image (2006), Image (2007), Image (2008), Image (2009), Image (2009), Image (2010), Image (2011), Image (2011), Image (2011) and Image (2011) Update: The tower was demolished on 8 July 2012

The 17 storey former Massey Ferguson office block[1] has been a local landmark since 1965. Here it is seen, standing empty, from the brookstray[2] at the corner of Sutton Avenue in Eastern Green.

The gate posts are the last vestiges of the former Massey Ferguson tractor factory which ceased operation in 2003 and was mostly demolished by 2005. The factory, built 1939/40, started out as a Standard No. 2 shadow factory producing aircraft engines during WWII then was turned over to post-war tractor production, the last tractor rolling off the line on 24 Dec 2002. The 1960s office tower block was demolished on 8 July 2012. The area is currently being redeveloped for housing, some of which is visible here. The gateway appears to be used as the entrance to Broad Lane Trading Estate, the sign for which is on the right.

According to the sign on the right, this appears to be the entrance to Broad Lane Trading Estate. The nearby area was formerly occupied by the Massey Ferguson factory and the gate posts are remnants from the site. A similar view in 2012: Image
