Date:1966
Description:Pictured is the Telephone Exchange on the Lichfield Road site (known as Main Works), Stafford. This was located on the second floor of the English Electric Co. Main Offices. On the left of the picture, seated (in the white jumper on the right of the vase of flowers) is Brenda Perry. The Main Offices were demolished during January 2006 as part of the Site redevelopment and replaced by the Hough Retail Shopping Park. 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 to date (April 2014) continues to be part of the ALSTOM Group.
