Creator	Bird, Terese Hyde, Colin
Subject	Factories Working Environment Working mothers Entertainment Employees Relations between the sexes Celebrations Advice Childcare
Description	mp3 interview with Barbara and Tony Taylor describing how social life mixed with work, including festivities for special occasions. Plenty of opportunity to talk to colleagues. 'Trimming' rooms and machines to celebrate birthdays, engagements etc. 300-400 women in Dept J 'no man was safe walking through the department the day before Christmas'. Most department had to attend the factory Christmas party, but some departments preserved individual parties. Family atmosphere, older 'motherly' figures gave advice and education. Making a stalk when a woman was pregnant, giving presents. Everyone knew everyone but not necessarily their business. No childcare provided by Corah, no factories did this as standard at this time. 9mins 8 secs.
