Great video I remember this factory well - hard to believe that Jacobs is no more than a plastic wrapper with the jacobs name - there biscuits are made all over Europe with just a handful made here in drogeda by east coast biscuits - the cream crackers that are sold in Ireland with the jacobs name are now manufactured in Portugal by Vieira the same company who makes Aldi crackers and not in the Liverpool bakery as they used to be - they taste rubbish - sad to see but that’s the price of globalisation
I like the polite name given to the rubbish collector of the "Hygiene department". I once worked in a cake factory in England in the Hygiene dept which entailed collecting the broken and damaged cakes and used cardboard boxes and carting them outside to the large bins. In the summer you had to run the gauntlet of wasps who must have thought they had died and gone to Heaven.
My aunt worked there back in the day.she brought home the defective / broken biscuits ,as a kid ,they went down great with red lemonade.
Great video, must be a great trip down memory lane for anyone watching who worked there back in the day.
It looks like a pleasant workplace environment, certainly compared to today’s factories.
Miss the lovely smell of baking biscuits wafting through the class room window back in the day.
Fabulous video I remember them lorry’s going around
Yet again CRs Video Vault releases a food related newsreel that I had the misfortune of viewing while I was hungry. Now I’m more famished than ever!
Pretty spacious canteen.

My mum worked in urneys chocolate factory across the road in the 50s bless her

Being a Yank, the first time I was asked in New Zealand if I cared to have some “tea and bickies,” I was at a loss for words.
Another Irish business lost due to globalism. But hey, at least we have Facebook and Google...
