The site of an historic Lincoln factory which produced more than 2,700 aircraft during the First World War has been completely levelled.

Demolition of the nine acre site and its warehouses, workshops and offices began in March and now all that remains is piles of concrete and rubble.

The work to pull down the former Ruston Boultham Works by UDCS Ltd has revealed views of terrace houses in Coulson Road and an unobstructed view of the cathedral.

And YouTuber Bennies Britain has captured it all on video.

Ruston once made cars

From building threshing machines, Ruston went on to build aircraft more than 100 years ago.

In the inter-war years it moved into car production and during the Second World War made Matilda tanks.

In the decades that followed the company made diesel engines for British Rail locomotives.

The former Ruston/Sinclair site in Lincoln has been reduced to rubble

Fertiliser firm William Sinclair Horticulture Ltd's produced compost at the plant from 1984 to 2015 when it ceased operations in Lincoln after a takeover by Westland and production relocated to a super-plant in Ellesmere Port.

All of the buildings have been cleared

The land could make as much as £1m as a development for about 200 houses.
