Title: Staff canteen, early 1970s [Go to resource]
Description: These workers were probably among the last to work on the production lines before the factory closed in 1976. The lady (front, left) is Mrs Aramo who worked in the factory from 1971 to 1976. Next to her is Mrs Palmer who worked alongside Mrs Aramo in the packing department. In the early days of the factory, the partners set aside a cottage by the river as a breakfast room for employees to take meals. When the factory was enlarged in 1872 a new breakfast room was built. In practice, most employees went home during breakfast and dinner breaks and one of the rules was that employees had to be out of the factory during breaks.
