Only photo 1 and 2 are of American Bemberg. The other photos are of North American Rayon next door.

my aunt Sheila Denney worked there before she went to America after the war. She had a gorgeous singing voice and sang for her fellow workers during lunch breaks. She is still alive and living in Florida.

There was a British Bemberg factory in Doncaster Yorkshire. It was built in the 1920's to produce Rayon but when the war broke out in 1939 the plant was taken over by the UK government. After the war my dad worked there until 1950/51. The plant was converted to nylon production and started operations in '53 at which point my dad returned to work there again. I also worked there as an apprentice instrument mechanic. The plant closed for good in 1999 and is now demolished.
