Bruce Peebles & Co. Ltd.

The main line ran 28-miles between London and Port Stanley, a resort town on Lake Erie.

The works had its own internal railway system, which was electrified and used electric shunting locomotives built by Peebles themselves.

[6] During both World Wars, the works produced shells, submarine and aircraft parts, tank and electrical equipment such as mobile search lights and minesweeping units.

Throughout this period it specialised in large scale transformers for power stations, including the world's largest 400 kV 'quadrature booster' for the UK national grid.

The company decided that a replacement factory should be relocated to Leith Docks to better facilitate transfer of the largest transformers onto ships for export.

The company is still located in the Royal dockyard Rosyth and continues to manufacture and service specialised motors and generators.
