Ware in the United Kingdom and its Connections to the Car Industry, Finance Industry and Motorsport

Ware is a small, historic market town in the county of Hertfordshire and it is located in the southern part of England. The town and its inhabitants have links to a wide range of industries; most notably, the car industry, finance industry and motorsport. Here, we will explore these connections and their impact on the local economy and demographic.

The Car Industry

Ware is closely related to the car industry due to its strong links to Leyland Motors. The Leyland Motor Works was established near Ware in 1933 and thousands of locals began employment at this site in the following years. It was at this factory, closed in 1980, that several landmarks of motoring history were created. Many of the Austin, Morris and Leyland vehicles of the 1930s, through to the 1960s, were produced here and such inventions include a new generation of radiator grills, side-valve engines, fuel systems and much more.

The centre of Ware holds a significant part of British car history; a public house dating back to the 16th century called The Bugle Inn. Just opposite the pub is a disused Leyland industrial estate, populated during the 1950s, 60s and 70s by cars queuing up to refresh their lives in the capable hands of the Leyland engineering team. This pub continues to serve as a reminder of the car industry's once-prominent influence in the area.

The Finance Industry

Ware is also well known for its contribution to the finance industry, being the home of one of the oldest banks in the United Kingdom — Agar's Bank. Founded in 1798, this historic bank focussed on providing banking services to local businesses and individuals. During the war years, Agar's Bank provided significant relief to local families who found themselves in difficult financial situations, through various measures including offering support to those returning from war and helping those injured by providing low-interest loans.

The bank immediately reached the hearts of locals and the regional economy, rapidly growing in size and customer base. This growth saw Agar's Bank become one of the most esteemed financial institutions in the mid 19th century and continues to provide banking services to the local community today.

Motorsport

Ware also has a strong connection to motorsport, making regular appearances in the world of Formula 1 in the 1960s and 70s. In 1967 the Formula Opel Championship, a high level motorsport event sponsored by the GM-owned parts maker Opel, raced exclusively in Ware. This prestigious event saw drivers representing some of the leading automotive companies in the world compete in race cars that could reach speeds in excess of 100 miles per hour.

Though the Formula Opel Championship was short-lived, its legacy lives on in Ware. In the 1970s, a local driver called Richard Grover dominated the Senior Saloon Car Championship at Brands Hatch, with routine wins at Ware races. Richard earned fame throughout Europe, and with Ware as his local track, many of the locals could claim to have seen him race in person.

Demographics

Wares' links to the car industry, finance industry and motorsport has had a huge impact on its demographics and the surrounding area. According to the latest population analysis from the Office for National Statistics, Ware has a total population of 30,109. This number is in stark contrast to the 15,719 people that lived in Ware at the time of the last census in 2001, illustrating the rapid population growth occurring in the area over the last two decades.

The majority of the population living in Ware belongs to the Aged Dependent group, with those under the age of 18 accounting for only 12.6% of the population. However, the population of the working-age population has increased over the last 5 years, which indicates an improving economy and vibrant job market.
