Sussman factory works outing

WORKS outings were a chance to let your hair down and escape the everyday chores.
And by the looks on these faces it was a welcome break.
The photographs were sent in by Pauline Gay, from Fairlight, who worked at the LS&J Sussman factory for 12 years from 1958 to 1970.
Ms Gay, 63, said: "Both photographs were taken on work outings but in different years. I think we went to London for the trips though.
"It was a very busy factory and we made shirts for Marks and Spencer. I remember the manager Bill Sleeth and Mr McFarland. And once or twice a year the two owners, Norman and his brother David Sussman would come down to check how things were running. They were the owners of several factories across the country."
