Geocache Description:

Every one loves a roller this will take you too the location of the original rolls royce factory in manchester.

In 1904 two businessmen known as Henry Royce and Charles Stewart Rolls opened a factory after meeting at Manchester's Midland Hotel and decided to start to build their own versions of the relatively new invention of the motor car - and chose Hulme for their first Rolls-Royce factory, though moving to Derby shortly afterwards. Many street names in the current Hulme commemorate this little piece of history, such as Royce Road and Rolls Crescent.

The original coords will take you to a sculpture to commemorate the location of the original factory.

The cache is a short walk away in a quieter location to get the coords you will need the following information
