The flats here were built in the 1950s by the English Electric Company - then a major employer in Rugby - to house its workers. The name came about because the company had a manufacturing plant in Queensferry. For some years after it was built the estate that includes these flats was called Kingsway (the company's headquarters were on Kingsway in London), but the name is seldom used now.
