Artifact Overview

Ford Motor Company operated sales branches and assembly plants in cities around the world. Ford's first overseas plant opened in Manchester, England, in 1911. By the early 1920s, demand for Ford vehicles in the United Kingdom was outpacing the Manchester plant's capacity. Ford shifted production to a new, larger factory at Dagenham, east of London, in 1931.
