dropout   10 #2 Posted January 2, 2020 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.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Meltman   311 #7 Posted January 6, 2020 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

hillsbro   32 #10 Posted January 6, 2020 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

If you look on picture Sheffield you will see that there was a canning factory in the early thirties I thought it was a straightforward question. I can't see where you have said it was in the Wicker, your post #3 asks the same question and #6 refers back to the OP which was about a baby show! Thank you to hillsbro for clearing it all up.

I answered Dropouts question, nothing about a baby show at all, the post just said Batchelors,  thank you Lazarus for the Wicker link.
