As sales outgrew the capacity of the London assembly shop and warehouse, the need for an assembly plant and clearing station became urgent,

A site at Orrell Lane, Liverpool, (close to the docks), was acquired anda warehouse erected in 1932. 

 

 

 

 

     International Harvester closed the facility in1968, and the site was converted
