Qualcast Final Cast Foundry Plate

3D Model

Qualcast (short for Quality Castings) manufactured lawnmowers in Derby during the majority of the 20th century. Their products were relatively affordable to people with small lawns needing an economical and reliable mower, making the company very successful. Although Lawnmowers bearing the Qualcast brand are still manufactured today, their production has moved out of Derbyshire.

This Qualcast foundry plate was created using the last metal to be poured at the Qualcst foundry on Victory Lane in Derby. The plaque is embossed ‘QUALCAST FOUNDRY / 1929 - 2005 / FINAL CAST 18th OCT’.

This image was created in co-production with our volunteers.
