    Although known locally as 'The Gun Factory', over the years an variety of civil work has been undertaken, especially during the post-war period when the requirment for armaments was significantly reduced.

  • Weapon Systems:
    Some of the many guns which the site produced over the years.

  • Vehicle Systems:
    The Factory is not as well known for vehicle work however a wide variety of systems passed through the doors, especially after privatisation when ROF Leeds was sold to Vickers Defence Systems. This work was generally for re-work or add-on rather than new build.

  • Military Others:
    In the 1950s and 1960s a great deal of miscellaneous work was undertaken to keep the factory employed which is shown here. Latervehicle protection systems were developed and some of this work is also shown.
