Southcombe's Glove Factory, Kingsbury Episcopi - 21 of 32
Glovers at work in the Southcombe's glove factory at Kingsbury Episcopi. Far Left: Elsie Townsend and far right: Milly Baggs - both working as "examiners", checking a sample of work before being packed. The Reed family, who started the factory in Kingsbury, sold the business to Southcombe Brothers in 1961, and the workforce was kept on and continued working in the factory built by Millicent Reed.
