I have a series of drawings done by my father for murals destined for this canteen dated 1944. My father, James S Holland OBE, worked for the Ministry of Information during the war, on exhibition design in the main. I don’t know if the murals were ever done and installed, but it is fascinating to see the canteen they were intended for. The drawings show sports and pastimes – presumably to provide some alleviation to the working day for the hardworking people at the factory.

my mother and auntie came down from Scotland to work in the factory. Is there any way I can find a list of workers.
Thank you
