The original Morris Motors site at Cowley had three manufacturing plants, separated by the eastern Oxford Ring Road and B480 road. The present site of Plant Oxford was the car body manufacturing business of the Pressed Steel Company, later known as Pressed Steel Fisher, which was founded in 1926. The north and south car assembly plants were originally Morris Motors plants, later part of British Leyland and latterly the Rover Group. The whole site was reorganised in the 1990s and now only the original Pressed Steel portion of the site remains

In 1912, William Morris bought the former Oxford Military College in Cowley.[citation needed] Moving his company into the new site, from 1914 onwards Morris pioneered Henry Ford-style mass production in the UK, by building what became affectionately known as "the old tin shed." In 1925, Morris opened his own printing division, Morris Oxford Press, later Nuffield Press, taking up some of the original military college buildings.[2]

To facilitate more efficient production, the Great Western Railway opened Morris Cowley railway station to serve the thousands of workers commuting to the factory. In 1933, they built a railway goods yard beside the Wycombe Railway to bring supplies into the factory, and take completed vehicles away. This railway yard still exists today and serves the current vehicle-manufacturing plant, though the railway to High Wycombe has long been lifted.

As Cowley expanded into a huge industrial centre, it attracted workers during the Great Depression looking for work. This resulted in the need for new housing, including from the 1920s Florence Park, built mainly by private landlords. Like many contemporary industrialists of the time, Morris wanted to provide for the whole life of its workers, and so developed the Morris Motors Athletic & Social Club on Crescent Road, which still exists today.

IMO the most interesting thing about this is the factory. Not the automation, but the bright well illuminated environment. If i had been a worker in an assembly line i would really have appreciated the cleanliness and the ability to see my work so well. I believe this goes a long way to improving worker satisfaction and quality of product.

Awesome. I’m glad they make the Mini in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. It’s fitting. Great video.

You can see the English craftsmanship, work ethic and order. 😀

I'm glad to see an home grown motoring example from 1959 still being made here. at first I resented the new minis, but not now.

I took the Mini plant visitor tour yesterday.. it was jaw dropping to see!. The steel body production was pure poetry/science fiction!... Unfortunately the assembly line was stopped because wiring harnesses (from Ukraine) were held up at Dover port customs!. Another Brexit benefit! 😢... Book a tour you will never forget it...

That is a plant for human been, clean, sound control, well illuminated.

It's all absolutely marvelous technology working together to produce a beautiful product but it's also a tad bit scary as well.

Nice video, but you need to have it narrated with a great English accent. I'd love to use with my high school students, but needs the vocals over the top.

Nice Video of a German assembly line making expensive Cuckoo design cars of thousands of bits and pieces.

[sweeyong]

Can they make the mini a mini like smaller but yet bigger than the original for extra space.

[fasthracing]

Umm back of the engine bay and under the wheel arches not painted?

[Jim.Hummel]

Very cool video but disappointing to not see the interior assembly. Great video, but the Like/Share/Subscribe/Ring the Bell graphic and clicking/bell noise were annoying...EVERY TWO MINUTES.

The unemployment rate in the UK was 4.3%, with 1.49 million people aged 16 and over unemployed.
This is an increase of 103, 000 people over the previous year.
