RichardB Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I am a student from Ireland writing my thesis on printing techniques from Loxely (Loxley - RichardB)) Brothers printers in Sheffield. I was wondering if anyone would have any information, that would be of use to me, pictures or stories anything would be great....

History dude Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I worked there a few months during the time of Diana Spencer's death. They were at that point only making Greetings Cards etc, for Marks And Spencer. They had some MASSIVE offset litho 4 colour printing machines. These were extremely noisy. Working conditions were very bad. They couldn't keep staff. People worked shifts from 6 am to 3pm. They were allowed a ten to 15 minute meal break and that's all. And in a paper factory, were bits of paper were getting cut up all the time, the Management would not spend cash on a basic shovel! They were like gold dust there! That old building above the roof would leak a lot! Bad news in a factory that has paper in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
