Looking north up Gaol Road
The gable wall on the other side of the road has a rather good example of a ghost sign advertisement. The words "Wills's Gold Flake Cigarettes" are obviously most prominent, but the older wording at the top also has the words "tobacco" and "tobacconists" in it, which suggests there may have been such a business in the premises for quite a while some years ago.

HV DC Test Facility
The former Stafford Power Station closed by MEB 1959 was taken over by the English Electric Company to test their mercury-arc valve equipment for power station switchgear. The old boilerhouse and equipment rooms had the height and space required. The brick extension on the right adjacent to Glover Street dates from 1939.
