Report and Images from Historic Building Recording Work at The Flight Shed, Southampton Airport, 2022|历史建筑记录数据集|工业遗产数据集

This collection comprises the images and report from a Historic Building Record of The Flight Shed, Southampton Airport, Southampton, Hampshire, undertaken by Pegasus Group February 2022. The building which is the subject of this Historic Building Recording comprises a 1930s aircraft hangar, constructed in 1937-1938 and originally utilised for the final assembly and testing of aircraft manufactured by Supermarine, including the Supermarine Spitfire. The structure was sold to the Ford Motor Company in the 1950s. The building had been subject to alteration and extension during the late 20th and early 21st centuries in association with its use by the Ford Motor Company. The building, and the wider complex, were sold by the Ford Motor Company in 2021 following the ceasing of use of the complex a number of years prior. This collection is the result of a Level 3 building record undertaken as part of the planning permission, granted in 2021, to demolish existing buildings, including the Flight Shed, and erect four new industrial buildings.
