Canned Goods Factory - possibly Everton area

Post by Tina »

Hi Crew
I've some lasses in 1901 labellers at canned goods factory.
1911 has some of the younger girls who are canned goods packers.
They were living in Spencer St Everton.
Would anyone know which factory this could be please?

Thanks in advance

Tina

Tina.

The old grey cells have recalled a dim memory! :roll:

I think it was (maybe) Cross & Blackwells or John West? (near or on Vauxhall road).

P.S.

John West Canned goods were first seen in Liverpool in 1892 (according to YoLiverpool)

Of course! I never thought of there. John West I believe was on the corner of Blackstock Street so I think it actually would be walkable from Spencer Street.

Thank you both. Never thought of John West (the best).
I'd looked in Directories but could only find Merchants for canned goods.

Pleased to read I have shaken up the old grey matter!!

Cheers
