Do you know anyone in this photograph of Shredded Wheat employees outside the factory on 7th June 1951. The photograph was taken to mark the visit of the President of the National Biscuit Company USA, Mr George H Coppers.

Maybe you recognise yourself?

Did production at the factory grind to a halt whilst the photograph was being taken?

  • I think my grandad is the in bottom photo, top row, right side, first man along. His name is George Goodman and he worked there from when he first came to WGC, where he helped build The Shredded Wheat, to working in the print room for most of his working life, to his retirement in the 60’s.
