History
|
Mid 20C: Carriage painting was carried out in G Building and it is presumed that the memorial was originally erected there. 1946: The board was painted by C. H. Welham. 25 November 1999: The memorial was reported to have been in "Coach Building, H Section" 19 March 2013: The memorial was surveyed in E Building and was in good condition and well cared for, although a small area of damage in the bottom right corner had been repaired. Company staff were of the opinion that the memorial had previously been in D Building. Over almost a century the site evolved from the Midland Railway Company, The London Midland and Scottish Railway Company, British Railways, ABB Daimler-Benz Transportation (Adtranz), and Bombardier Transportation (UK) Ltd. |

The memorial cannot currently be attributed to a particular department but it was the practice at the time for company memorials to be made by employees of that department. It is suspected that C H Welham was a craftsman painter in the Painting Department and that he may have been assisted by other employees. In the mid 20C G Building was also known as the Carriage Painting Shop and D and E Buildings contained several departments relating to joinery and wood trimming. H Building had housed several departments including Wheel Lathes, Fitting and Machine Shops. |
