Bachelors

[CHa]

Does anyone remember Bachelors running a baby competition in 1947? I had a picture of me winning it but its been lost in house moves over the years.

My dad was Jack hales and he worked in the sugar room

There was a BATCHELORS Factory in Sheffield at one time, I do remember that, but I definately don't remember 1947 and any baby competition.

Look at the topic ! 

[Meltman]

Was there a Batchelors factory or not in the Wicker then Lazarus?

I believed it was at Wadsley Bridge but there might have been more than one factory.

They had one in Worksop in the 70s we delivered laundry to them when I worked for Abbey Glen.

I already said there was a Batchelor's factory in the Wicker so why the was there or wasn’t there? If you look on picture Sheffield you will see that there was a canning factory in the early thirties

Batchelor's canning factory was in Stanley Street, just off the Wicker, until 1937 when the new factory opened at Wadsley Bridge as noted above by kidley.
