Moorfield Works

This was the original Sunbeam factory in Wolverhampton, where Sunbeams were made from 1899 to 1935.

The building pictured here appears to have been the administration building. Many of the structures on this block (not pictured here) appear to have been part of the Sunbeam works, although I don't know precisely which ones.

The plant is located on Upper Villiers Street, between Moorfield and Marston Roads, Wolverhampton. In the A-Z Street Atlas of Birmingham, the plant is on map 29, H4.

Turning back to look south down Upper Villiers Street.

The corner of Upper Villiers and Sunbeam Streets. This building housed a paint shop.

If you visit the Moorfield Works and Sunbeamland, you should also see St John's Retail Park. Seriously. This is good.
