When I was a kid they used to produce a three pack containing Yorkshire Thin Relish, Yorkshire Thick Relish (a bit like HP) and something else which I can't remember (it was a long time ago )

Could I say that company is using its noodle. Was that loads of groans I heard there? It was odd in a photo in the Daily Mail report to see the Town Hall called City Hall.

A friend worked there years ago but I never got the name of the company. The Icecream factory in Morley is Thorntons , Most older "Miggyites" like Myself will remember Harry Thornton purveyor of Ice lollies amongst other things. The factory is run by His son David (see link).http://www.thorntonslollies.co.uk/Kango In the 1950s Thorntons Lollies were situated in Beeston on Theodore Street .

Moorhouses Jam. There's lots about it on t'web. The company was taken over by Schweppes in 1959. The factory finally closed in 1972 with the loss of 590 jobs.A former colleague of mine worked in the factory during his university holidays. His stories were illuminating!!
