During the Blitz, thousands of women left school at 14 to work in the bustling factories of London's East End. Of them all, it was at Tate & Lyle's where you could earn the most generous wages and enjoy the best social life. The work was hard, but it was more than just a factory, it was a community.Weaving together tales of adversity, resilience and youthful high spirits, this is an evocative, moving story of hunger, hardship and happiness and provides a moving insight into a lost way of life.
