Thanks to contributor Stewart Kington for sharing old photos which give a glimpse to what life was like for the workers at the former Border Breweries, Wrexham. For the images were taken by his father, William, when he was the manager and as staff prepared for a works' outing one day way back in 1947.
You can't make out the detail in the photos, but the women all wore headscarves as well as clogs - and manager William also photographed the same staff in their civvy clothes, presumably as they were heading out on their trip to Blackpool.
[Another photo shows crates of beer being loaded on another photo which we have not used in the sequence - no doubt to get everyone in the party mood. And they say times change?!]
