The firm of Vicon Agricultural Machinery was located at Long Street Works, Ipswich. The firm was bought by the Netherlands based Greenland Group in the 1980's . The Kverneland Group of Norway took Greenland over in 1998. When I worked in Suffolk County Council County Architect's Department in the 1970's the building was taken over by the Education Supplies Department. During refurbishment I was informed that the building had been used for World War One aircraft construction. From memory the building was 250ft (76.2m) long x 100ft (30.5m) wide x 25ft (7.6m) high to the underside of the roof trusses with a 5ft (1.5m) fall on the floor from one end to the other. This fall allowed a simple gravity-powered production line track system to operate.
