Description:Pictured is a ‘shop floor’ area at the English Electric Co. Lichfield Road Site in Stafford. In the centre are two typical small rotors manufactured at the site. At a later stage these rotors would be threaded into stators (electric motors, generators or alternators). The Stafford Works was renowned for its electrical products including generators, transformers and switchgear. This image is taken from a glass negative donated to the Staffordshire County Museum by Alstom Power, Lichfield Road, Stafford. Additional information: Siemens Brothers purchased the land in 1901 and built the factory and offices which were ready to start production in 1903. In 1918 Siemens merged with several companies, including Dick, Kerr and Co., to become the English Electric Co. Two years later in 1920, The English Electric Co bought the Stafford Works. The English Electric Co merged with GEC (The General Electric Company) during 1968 and the Lichfield Road Site became part of GEC Power Engineering Ltd. On 22 March 1989 became part of GEC ALSTHOM, an Anglo French Joint Venture. On 22 June 1998 became part of ALSTOM with global HQ in Paris and until June 2014 continued to be part of the ALSTOM Group.
