Immigrant workers on the cooker production line at the GEC, Swinton, South Yorkshire, 1962. Due to a shortage of available workers for the production lines at their cooker and fridge factory in Swinton, the General Electric Company (later to become Morphy Richards) found it necessary to source labour from outside the UK. The GEC originally produced cookers in Birmingham and had to relocate to Swinton, mainly because Birminghams car industry shared similar skills and paid better wages. In this photograph, three African workers are seen on the cooker production line.
