Sure is, and still a car factory in fact. These days they build Peugeots though. My photos of this plant aren't all that exciting. There are lots of trees around it, presumably to keep prying eyes from spotting the latest models.

I didn't go looking for the Armstrong Siddeley factory where the first Alpines were made.
