Description:Decorated float entered by employees from Lotus Ltd.’s Tracing Department in the annual Trades and Friendly Societies' Pageant. The float was designed by Walter Adams, standing second from the right, who was a shoe machinery engineer at Lotus. The procession through Stafford ended with a fair on the town common. A prize was awarded to the best decorated entries and along the route collections were made for Stafford General Infirmary. Lotus entered between ten and fifteen floats each year and judged their own entries prior to entering the pageant.
