Description:A live load test at the British Reinforced Concrete factory, Stafford.
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.
