The Rolls-Royce Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

TheLionCub: I hadn't the time to replace the cache and since I changed the container to other location due to the trim of the bush/tree where it first was, it is being missing more that founded and I ve lost a bit of interest on it to be honest.
I hope another geoacher find this place the right place for his/her own hide. Thanks.

The first Rolls-Royce workshop  

In 1884, Henry Royce started a domestic electric fittings factory at Cooke Street. He made three cars (the Royce 10) in a corner of what was his dynamo and electric crane workshop. In 1904, Royce and Charles Stewart Rolls created a business partnership after meeting at Manchester's Midland Hotel and started to build their own motor car (a relatively new invention). Hulme was the location of their first Rolls-Royce workshop, though operations were moved to Derby shortly afterwards. The Silver Ghost was designed and produced in Hulme. The Rolls-Royce V-8 was designed in Hulme in 1905 to compete with the popular electric town cars which were quiet, easy to start and free of smells, smoke and vibration. Many names in Hulme commemorate this era, such as Royce Road, Rolls Crescent and the Bentley House Estate.  In May 2004, celebrating 100 years of excellence, Manchester city council established a “Henry Royce Red Plaque” and in August 2007, "Temple 2000", a sculpture based on a Rolls Royce radiator grille by George Wyllie both were unveiled in Hulme Park on the site of the old Royce factory at Cooke Street off Stretford Road. Royce, who lived by the motto "Whatever is rightly done, however humble, is noble"
