Former Ruston Gas Turbines works now Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery Ltd. offices bays 8 and 9 underwent a substantial £5m refurbishment, along with reconfiguration of the associated landscaping and car park, following planning approval in March 2011 and the official opening in January 2012. Industrial buildings appear to be shown here between the 1905-07 and 1906-08 OS maps. The existing Malthouse was used by Ruston’s as a pattern store by 1908 having been available for let from 1903. It is likely the bays were built between 1908 and 1921 based on map evidence. They are seen on 1926 aerial photographs. (Ruston Gas Turbines (RGT) name started to be used to market the turbines in 1969. They changed name to European Gas Turbines in October 1991, Alstom Gas Turbines in June 1998, ABB Alstom Power UK in September 1999, Alstom Power UK in October 2000 and Alstom Power UK Holdings in March 2002 that was unlimited in 2004 and stopped trading in 2006 having become part of Siemens (UK) in April 2003. Siemens lease the site from St Modwen.) See Image for new offices.
