Morton's Jam Factory COMPLETED
« on: Wednesday 12 December 07 17:29 GMT (UK) »
My Great Grandfather Lived in Mellish Street in Millwall area, Isle of Dogs and worked as a packer at Morton's Jam & Pickle Factory nearby - possibly Westferry Road. Does anyone have any recollections or knowledge of this factory? I believe it's now long gone. Any help gratefully received. :-\
