The Fall of Longbridge: How Britain’s Car Empire Collapsed

There’s a supermarket where Britain’s largest car factory once stood. A hotel where molten iron used to pour at 1,500 degrees. This is the story of the Longbridge Factory — once the heart of Britain’s auto industry and home to the iconic Mini. At its peak, Longbridge employed 25,000 workers and built one in every three British cars. It was more than a factory — it was a community, a middle-class lifeline, and a symbol of industrial power. So how did it collapse? From Austin to British Leyland to Rover, from record-breaking production to bankruptcy and 25,000 jobs lost, this documentary explores one of the most dramatic industrial declines in modern history. If you’re interested in manufacturing history, the rise and fall of car empires, or the disappearance of working-class industry, this is a story that echoes far beyond Britain. #LongbridgeFactory #BritishLeyland #AutoIndustry #MiniCooper #IndustrialDecline
