The original Rolls Royce factory in Derby is to close, 100 years after it opened.
The factory on Nightingale Road closes its doors today, but staff have already moved to a new site at Sinfin.
The original site played a huge role in the motor industry but also produced Merlin aircraft engines in the Second World War.
Currently Rolls Royce employs more than 10,300 people in Derby.
The site may be used for community and educational facilities, according to the council.
