Description: | Women workers labelling flat torch batteries. When the company was taken over by battery manufacturers Ever Ready in 1925, production of this battery type was moved to their south-eastern factories after the Second World War (1939-1945). However, production did restart at Park Lane in 1970, but the factory eventually closed in 1980. The labels appear to be applied by hand. Women were often chosen because they generally had the greater dexterity required for this type of work. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Archives | Rights holder: | Wolverhampton Archives | Subjects: | Photograph nnnBattery industry Photographs | Temporal: | 1922 | Source: | Black Country History | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
