Fridge assembly at the General Electric Company, Swinton, South Yorkshire, 1964. Fridges roll off the end of the production line at the General Electric Co in Swinton (South Yorkshire). The assembly lines at the GEC factory (later to become Morphy Richards) were relocated from Birmingham after the Second World War due to a shortage of skilled labour, which preferred the car industry as it paid better wages. The Morphy Richards facility still stands on the site, but products are now imported from foreign manufacturers. January 1964.
