A History of Innovation
This corner of Staffordshire was the heart of Anglo-Saxon Mercia. In July 2009 a metal detectorist in a field at Hammerwich, south-west of Lichfield, uncovered the Staffordshire Hoard, the largest collection of Anglo-Saxon gold and silver metalwork ever found, and while the core collection is held in Birmingham and Stoke-on-Trent, pieces from it are displayed at Tamworth Castle and Lichfield Cathedral on the Mercian Trail. The cathedral is itself a feat of medieval engineering, the only medieval cathedral in England with three spires. Tamworth's modern engineering story belongs to Reliant, built vehicles at its Watling Street works on the edge of Tamworth from 1935 until the late 1990s, championing glass-fibre bodywork in the three-wheeled Robin and the Scimitar GTE, before completing its final car at a new Burntwood factory in 2001.
Inspiring STEM Role Models
Erasmus Darwin, one of the foremost physicians of the eighteenth century, ran his medical practice and his experiments from a house on Beacon Street in Lichfield from 1758 to 1781. A founding member of the Lunar Society and grandfather of Charles Darwin, he explored ideas about evolution a lifetime before his grandson, declined an invitation to become personal physician to King George III, and welcomed visitors including Benjamin Franklin. His home is now the Erasmus Darwin House museum. A century earlier, Gregory King, born in Lichfield in 1648, produced pioneering estimates of England's population and wealth and is remembered as the country's first great economic statistician.
Lichfield & Tamworth’s STEM Economy Today
Fradley Park, built across the former RAF Lichfield airfield, houses Norgren, part of IMI plc, which manufactures pneumatic and fluid control technology alongside distribution operations for Tesco and Hellmann Worldwide Logistics. In Tamworth, Amphenol Invotec makes complex printed circuit boards for aerospace, defence and medical customers at its Hedging Lane site. A short run up the A38 at Barton-under-Needwood, Alstom's Central Rivers depot maintains the entire CrossCountry Voyager fleet under a contract extended in 2023 through to 2031. And Tamworth's SnowDome, opened in May 1994 as the UK's first full-size real-snow indoor slope, keeps a 170-metre slope of real snow frozen all year round.
STEM Career Pathways for Young People
Local routes into STEM are close at hand. South Staffordshire College teaches from its Lichfield campus, with the college's dedicated engineering and digital hub nearby in Cannock, while Landau Forte Academy Tamworth Sixth Form has offered post-16 study in the town since 2011. Straight down the A5, the MIRA Technology Institute at HORIBA MIRA's technology park runs automotive engineering apprenticeships from intermediate through to Masters level with partners including Coventry University and Loughborough University. Alstom's Central Rivers depot puts rail engineering careers on the doorstep, and Birmingham's universities are an easy commute on the Cross City line from Lichfield.
Investing in STEM Education in Lichfield & Tamworth
Pupils here grow up between two STEM stories: an eighteenth-century Lichfield where Erasmus Darwin ran experiments from his Beacon Street home, and a present day where Voyager trains are overhauled at Central Rivers and circuit boards for aircraft are made in Tamworth. Local enrichment is already strong; Drayton Manor runs curriculum-linked school sessions on rollercoaster physics just outside Tamworth. What ties it all together is what happens in school. A hands-on workshop day puts robotics, drones, AI and coding in front of every pupil, not just those whose families seek it out. For headteachers in Lichfield, Tamworth and Burntwood, it is a direct, low-effort way to connect pupils to the careers already on their doorstep.
