Love Lane Lives
The history of sugar in Liverpool and the effects of the closure of the Tate & Lyle sugar refinery, Love Lane
The Girls & Boys from the Whitestuff
"The remarkable thing about this project was not just sugar, an extraordinary but much taken for granted commodity but the extraordinary lives of ordinary refinery workers... This project has lots of historical curiosity value but it has wider ramifications for ongoing debates on the politics of food and globalization. It's also a vital record of the people who struggled against a major multinational to protect not just their own livelihoods but a whole community."

I have a question and wonder if anyone out there can give me an answer. As a Yellows Pansman I boiled those sugars sold in 500g and 1kg bags in the shops as light and dark soft brown sugars.
The large bags, 56lb/25kg bags for industrial use were packed in the Yellows House on the packing floor then sent by conveyor over a bridge to be stowed in the “W” Warehouse.
My question is, where were the small bags as sold in the shops packed and who by? I can’t for the life of me remember!
