More about this scene
Opened in 1948, the Hoover factory was built near the site of the Plymouth Ironworks. This factory was built to manufacture the Hoover electric washing machine and was, until recently, the main employer in the area. The housing forming a triangular shape on the left was a unique example of early industrial dwellings, but it was demolished, despite protests, in December 1977.
