R.I.P Rover and the British motor Industry. one of so many once great names reduced to nothing :(

[@mgzt52]

my god makes me want to cry what a bloody shame and a complete waste of a truly great british car company. Bloody government again letting the british public down and fully supporting foreigners. Rover the greatest car company in the world ever. Always in my heart.

[@miniboys3459]

I wish the factory was still making good cars

[@R.C.D.87]

I will miss that bridge knowing it was part of history and part of my area goodbye old bridge

[@brettdude92]

This actually makes me want to cry! I went past that tunnel so often! Anybody know what happened to it or did it just go 2 scrap?

[@heavyhaulage1]

Well The Demolition company DSM Scraped it on site, they teared it apart, loaded into their own wagons and some of EMR's Trucks and sent to EMR In Walsall. Thanks again for the videos!

Grew up in the 80’s/90’s Rednal/Rubery & Longbridge. Dad worked at Rover until it closed. Place feels a lot different now.

[@finno123456]

I always wondered was there any older vehicles in the older parts of the factory before they knocked the building down

[@MrJezza31]

another nail in the coffin for brittan

[@245sillybilly]

[@MrDavidfball]

[@marcusj2283]

Such ashame i remember when i was little when we went in to Birmingham along that road as soon as seen that bridge would always know was now in Birmingham my late farther worked at longbridge for years and i remember him telling me how some times car bodys would come loose up in that bridge and they would have to go up there to get it all moveing again iv always wondered why they couldn't have atleast left part of the frame work of the bridge standing so people in the future could atleast see part of what was

[@heavyhaulage1]

Great Video of the Liebherr LTM 11000 DS , It went to scrap!

[@Phunker1]

I don't know. Longbridge gone. It's all a tad wrong.

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

Not wrong at all. They wrecked their position in the market. Red Robbo, strikes, and poor productivity. They were masters of their own fate.

[@jasinere35]

adiago for strings is the music

[@lowielucero3304]

The music back ground is almost the same one of songs of biggie small!!

[@stuarthandley7102]

such a shame to see british tax money down the drain very wrong rover should have been saved

[@derickfield2284]

if it were me i would big flats for the homeless people and a big training center for people who want to learn different stuff and courses to help them get the right qualifications for jobs and help people to get in to work lets see what people say about my idea

[@ef7480]

You were correct- they build a great big college.

[@Autoskillz1]

@MrJezza31 so true, just like poor spelling :)

[@Andyc351]

sad

[@CaraBrimleyRules]

Good riddance, it was an eyesore.

[@ef7480]

lol typical female response...

[@CaraBrimleyRules]

@@ef7480 It was males who decided Longbridge should be flattened, and males who carried it out. And it was carried out, so in the end, the joke is on you, mate. The majority agree with me.

[@ef7480]

@@CaraBrimleyRules - your 'majority' would also agree that 'males' built it and mostly worked there. Modern feminism- such a bastion of critical thinking...😄

[@ted5669]

May have been an eyesore, but with it went 10’s of thousands of jobs and the end of our economy. Who cares whether it was males or females? People lost out! I don’t see many agreeing with you on except eh? You! 😂
