Searching for light in the Lister foundry – By Matthew Bigwood
Lister Petter, a manufacturer of diesel engines, was based in Dursley, Gloucestershire, on a site more than a mile in length and at its height employing thousands of people. The original business, R A Lister, was established in the 19th century and originally manufactured agricultural equipment before branching out into engine production in the 20th century.
