River Don Works was first built on this site in 1863. Present buildings consist of huge black sheds behind four storey classical renaissance offices along Brightside Lane built in 1906 (Harman and Minnis 2004). From 1884 the company moved into armaments production (www.tilthammer.com/bio/vick.html) - 10 March 2005. Armour plate, gun barrels and other large forgings have remained main products of this site ever since. Present sheds mostly date to 1930 rebuild of the site. No legibility of pre industrial landscape.
