Description:The Drawing Office in the Stafford offices of British Reinforced Concrete. The original ceiling of this room had skylights and open structural metalwork which produced condensation which dripped onto the drawings. This photograph shows the room after a modified ceiling was inserted.

The British Reinforced Concrete Engineering Company manufactured reinforced concrete structures and made steel mesh for reinforcing concrete. The company moved from Manchester to Stafford in 1926, building a new factory in Queensville.

Business declined in the 1980s, and the factory closed in 1990 before being demolished in 1991. BRC Special Products moved to a site on the Astonfields Industrial Estate and retained its links with Stafford until it closed in early 2010.
