My Wife & I worked in the Card Box Mill.
I worked at Rowntree’s 1946-70. Immigrated to Canada 1970.Worked a short while at Rowntree Canada.
The benevolence of the Company was endless. The Rowntree Company for the better altered the lives of thousands of the York population. Making York one of the most posperous Cities in which to work & reside

Marvellous - thanks for finding and sharing.
So many factory workers, all dressed alike!
It reminded me of a passage from E.V. Morton’s “The Call of England” (1928) where he describes seeing Coney Street in the early evening, suddenly ‘flooded by thousands of small, smart girls’ when the chocolate makers leave their factories.
