Summary:
"Ivy, Dulcie, Barbara, Ann, Dorothy and Jean all had different reasons for applying to work at Carr's biscuits, but once they had put on their overalls and walked through the factory gates they discovered a community full of life, laughter and friendship. Beginning in the 1940s, these heartwarming and vividly-remembered stories were collected by the author. In 1831 John Dodgson Carr, son of a Quaker grocer, was determined to launch a great enterprise. Within 15 years, Carr's of
Carlisle
had become one of the largest baking businesses in the world, and is a by-word for biscuits to this day.
Carlisle
is in Cumbria and is the second most northerly city in
England
. Hunter Davies is the author of over forty books, including the only official biography of the Beatles"--Provided by publisher.
