During the First World War, Lanchester made munitions at a new works in Formans Road, near Spring Road, and used these premises after the war for coach building. The Alpha Works was taken over by a light car maker, Ashton- Evans, for a few years. Formans Road became the Lucas Battery Factory from 1923
I take it this building is the one still standing in Formans Road, now a meat warehouse?
