Electric lighting cabinet
The electrical wire and cable firm W.T. Glover was founded in 1868, with premises at the Bridgewater Street Iron Works in Salford. The founder, Walter T. Glover saw the potential for applying this technology to the electric cable industry and formed the Salford Electrical Wire Works, in association with the Bridgewater Street Iron Works. The company made cotton-covered and braided, insulated copper wires for use on bell, signalling and telephone circuits. Glover's then began to make and sell the associated cable-making machinery. As trade expanded the company required more space and in 1880 opened the Springfield Lane Cable Works.
In 1898 Glover's became a limited company and moved to Trafford Park. It secured the exclusive rights for the supply of electricity to all the roads, streets and premises of Trafford Park. In June 1919, Glover’s were taken over by Vickers Ltd. Although Vickers held the majority of the shares, Glover's kept its name and management. In 1929 the Vickers group was reorganised and the shares in Glover’s were secured by Sir Tom Callendar of Callendar Cable and Construction Co. Some shares later went to W. T. Henley’s Telegraph Works Ltd. and British Insulated Cables. The Trafford Park factory was closed in 1970, but the Glover brand continued as part of BICC.
This electrical cabinet is on Waterloo Road off High Lane and was manufactured by the Glover company which placed its name and winged cable logo at the top of the door. Also on the door are the initials representing Hazel Grove & Bramhall Urban District Council lighting department.
