History

Sentinel moved its steam-waggon production to a new factory at Shrewsbury in 1915. In the Second World War it built Vickers-Armstrongs-pattern carriers from the early machine-gun and Bren carriers onwards; the Universal Carrier Mark II in the Tank Museum's collection is a Sentinel of 1940. Lorry production ended by 1956 and the factory passed to Rolls-Royce for diesel engines.
