The history of Lucas shows it researched, developed and produced many products across several industries. And like many large companies, it manufactured them at many different sites across Birmingham. This can be confusing, especially if you’re researching an ancestor who worked for Lucas. A suggestion made by Bob Johnson in the Lucas Mere Green thread prompted me to start this list.
So I’ve prepared the list in post #2 by researching press cuttings which mention the Lucas company. It gives the products that were manufactured at the various Birmingham sites. I shall also be adding to this using information from the threads we have on BHF and the “Lucas Memories” site. I emphasise that this is a first attempt, and can be added to, enlarged or corrected over time.
Note. Dates included in the list (in the main) are the dates any information about their products appeared in the press (not the date the product started production or ceased) It doesn’t contain all sites and products but this can be built upon if members want to contribute information.
If anyone wants to add to the list please post your information and I shall amend the list.
Many thanks.
