A close-up showing the variety of departments at the company. Note how many relate to functions subsidiary to the actual manufacture of soap, such as Wood Box, Shipping, Paper Stores.

This plaque has been erected on a small green between Liverpool Road and Old Liverpool Road. This plaque shows the victims of the Great War of 1914-18; there is a separate plaque added for the 1938-45 war, but the original plaque has been amended by the addition, slightly out of line, of an 'S' to the word 'WAR'.
