This plaque marks the site where Isetta of Great Britain Ltd had its factory in the former Locomotive Engineering Works from 1957 to 1964, and where over 30,000 cars were assembled in that time.

"In March 1957 the Southern Locomotive works on New England Street finished its last railway job and, 6 weeks later, re-opened to assemble Isetta's, employing 200 local Brighton workers, most of whom had worked in the locomotive works on the railway vehicles.As the factory had no road access, all the parts had to be brought in by railway, and the assembled vehicles had to be sent out by the same method. At the height of production 300 cars a week were made which averaged out at one and a half per person." - MyBrightonAndHove.orgIt would appear that the plaque was put up http://www.isetta-owners-club-gb.com/brighton/brighton.html but this area has now been redeveloped. There were rumours that Sainsburys have it, but its not on display. I wonder where it's gone?Oct 2016: the plaque appeared on Sainsburys entrance.
