| Admin/Biograhical History | The relocation of the food machinery businesses to Paston took place from January to August 1991. Operations at Paston started on 5th August.
The printing machinery business remained at Westfield Road for another 18 months, the last printing press being completed at the end of 1992, and with it nearly 100 years of engineering production came to an end at Westwood Works.
Following the announcement of plans to build a prison on the derelict site in Westfield Road, some years passed before demolition actually began. In March 2003 work started on the demolition of the factory buildings, and then the multi-storey office blocks were all demolished by the end of that October. The prison was being built as the Westwood Works site was being demolished, and it was completed in 2004, taking in its first occupants in 2005. For further information visit www.westwoodworks.net |
