Description: | This series primarily consists of photograph albums and individual photographs, however it also includes a set of exhibition boards and photographic slides containing views relating to the production of metal containers for beer, manufactured as part of the Sankey System. Most of the photographs date from the first half of the twentieth century, but there are a small number of images with an earlier date, and the photographic slides and exhibition boards are likely to date from the 1960s. The majority of the photograph albums contain views of products and components manufactured by Joseph Sankey & Sons Ltd, but there are also albums containing aerial photographs of Joseph Sankey & Sons Ltd Works in Bilston and at Wellington, Shropshire. Many of the individual photographs also consist of aerial views of Works. Other photographs show the interior of Sankey factories, showing aspects of the manufacturing process of different types of products. There are also a number of photographs of Sankey employees, including portrait photographs of members of the Sankey family who were directors of the company, as well as group photographs of staff and workers and photographs taken at the opening of the Sankey sports ground in 1936 and during official visits to the Works, including that of Oliver Lyttelton, Minister of Production, in 1943. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Archives | Rights holder: | Wolverhampton Archives | Temporal: | c1880s-c1960s | Source: | Black Country History | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
