Hangar

Hangar
Woodford Aerodrome opened in 1924 when successful aviation pioneer Alliott Verdon-Roe bought the original farmland to enable his Avro company to move its aeroplane assembly and test flying facilities from Alexandra Park Aerodrome in south Manchester. Originally it had a small grass landing area with several temporary Bessonneau hangars. The Lancashire Aero Club also used the aerodrome briefly in the 1920s until moving to the new Barton Aerodrome and used a converted farm building as a clubhouse and this 'Dutch barn' style steel-framed hangar built for A V Roe around 1927. This hangar is now under threat of demolition for the housing development which will soon take place on the closed airfield and aircraft factory site.
