Whitley plant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Whitley Plant is situated in Whitley, Coventry in the West Midlands of England. It is the Engineering Centre and Headquarters of Jaguar Cars. The facility has a fully integrated design, research and development centre for all current and future Jaguar products. It is signposted around the area as "Jaguar Eng Ctr".
Whitley became the headquarters of Jaguar Cars after relocating from Browns Lane, Coventry after the Brown's Lane plant closed in 2005.
The associated expansion of the Whitley facility and the building of a new industrial park in the surrounding green fields and woods is a controversial local issue.
[edit] Green land
The Whitley plant is surrounded by green land, and a lake, woods and the River Sowe are near by. These would be under threat if the plant was expanded. Some of the former playing fields of Whitley Abbey Comprehensive School were sold by the council to Ford who own Jaguar.
