It's disgraceful that it was allowed to be closed.

It’s never been any different, good luck trying to keep dozens of cars under cover/ dry and secure for the next 40 Years doubt if you would see a return on your investment.

And the roundabout has widened slightly to make it more easier for traffic to use the roundabout

Today there’s a new bournville college on the right side of the picture The car works of longbridge who does rovers and MGs that’s all gone and the old longbridge station building seen on the left is now being demolished And that old bridge seen in the background of the clip that’s been taken away

I've always been sad to see longbridge close. The retail park, to me, is not a fitting successor to it, but the college I feel is a good thing. Providing training and employment prospects to the coming generations is laudable. While Longbridge shouldn't have been allowed to close, but the actual factory required millions of pounds of repairs, maintenance that was long overdue, and a good percentage was derelict and surplus to use. Once MG Rover closed, it wasn't a shock that no other company decided to take up the use of the factory as offered for a while. A shame all around.

Drove here last week it’s all demolished now it’s apartments and houses now

It Would've been a fitting tribute if they saved a building for a museum but nope 😕

The Elephant House, the Kremlin and the Exhibition Hall is still standing ...... CABS have just been demolished!

All gone and sold to the the Chinese, Rowvee Wrong Way

Sad loss..They wanted retail..but that'll be next to go!! Loads of car parking, open space and flats now plus a college!!

Brummies need jobs. There should be no unemployment in the West Midlands due to the massive companies that were situated there. Rover, Lucas, GKN, IMI, Goodyear, LDV, Metro Cammell, Dunlop, HP, Typhoo etc etc. But, of course, the London politicians didn't fight to save our jobs and our history and our power.

From bring the largest car plant In Europe to now no more and being retail and residential 😞

Strange, driving past the row of parked cars.... Most seemed to be Ford 🙄
