West Indian workers at the GEC Iron Factory, Swinton, South Yorkshire, 1962. Artist
West Indian workers at the GEC, Swinton, South Yorkshire, 11th July 1962. Due to a shortage of available workers for the production lines at their cooker and fridge factory in Swinton, the General Electric Company (later to become Morphy Richards) found it necessary to source labour from outside the UK. The GEC originally produced cookers in Birmingham and had to relocate to Swinton, mainly because Birminghams car industry shared similar skills and paid better wages. Here, they are seen in a publicity photograph with management
