Brownsover Hall

By mid 1940, space at the Ladywood works had become so crowded that people were working on the stairs to Whittle’s office and engineers were occupying a redundant railway coach. This led to rooms being rented in this large house, one of which became Whittle’s office whilst others were used as design offices – it can be recognised in the photos of Whittle and his team. It is now a hotel and may be seen in all its Gothic Revival splendour (arch. Sir George Gilbert Scott) in Brownsover Lane, Rugby, Warwickshire, CV21 1LU.
