The exhibition is the culmination of the year-long Land Rover Legacy Project, which has involved researching the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust’s vast archives, cataloguing material and digitising relevant images. During the year, members of the local community have brought along their own photographs and material, shared their memories and provided an insight into the history of the Lode Lane factory. The exhibition features a small selection of these contributions.

This travelling exhibition will move to other libraries and venues across the Midlands during next year.
