Lancaster Wagon Works - clock tower
The Lancaster Railway Carriage and Wagon Company moved into these new premises in 1865, adjacent to the Midland Railway line to Leeds. The works were taken over by the Metropolitan Amalgamated Railway Carriage and Wagon Company in 1902 and closed in 1908.
The works were used in the First World War, firstly as a base for the 5th Battalion King's Own Royal Lancaster Regiment, then as an internment camp for enemy aliens, and finally to manufacture torpedoes.
In 1923, Morton's (of Carlisle) took over the works to manufacture carpets and furnishing materials. Today, high-quality printing of fabrics is carried out, under the name of Standfast.
