Known locally only as Listers, this is the home of Lister-Petter, manufacturers of diesel engines. Founded in 1867, Listers merged with Petters in 1986. Listers first made diesel engines here in 1929 and sent them all over the Empire. The distinctive phut-phut can still be heard all over the world as their products last forever. Much reduced in scale now, they are still leading players with worldwide distribution.
