This works has been a fixture here since I was a child. It has had various names and owners but I remember it best as Brook Motors, manufacturers of electric motors. The company remains in the same business. Brook Motors was founded in Huddersfield in 1904 while Colonel Crompton formed his company in Chelmsford in 1878. The two companies merged in the 1970s. The company has also subsumed many other motor companies.
