Title: Fire service mains, 1970 [Go to resource]
Description: Alfred Palmer started the Fire Brigade in 1871. Every factory department had a member of the brigade that numbered 150 men by 1900. This is one of several plans of the factory first drawn in 1903 and regularly updated for fire insurance purposes, that shows the complex of buildings which formed the sprawling biscuit factory. It also shows how well connected the factory was to the railway.
