In 1953 the Hinxton Hall estate underwent a major transformation in its role and function when the research and manufacturing company Tube Investments moved in.
In the second talk of the series, The Hinxton Hall Estate: Georgians, Jet Engines and Genes, we find out how the industrial innovation that took place at the Hall formed a key part of the UK’s recovery after the Second World War.
We hear from people who worked on site during this exciting time in manufacturing history, and how the precedent they set for translating research into everyday applications lives on today at the Wellcome Genome Campus and beyond.
