Morris's Furniture Factory

Morris's Furniture Factory in Milton Street, Cowcaddens, probably early 20th century.

This part of the factory is making chests of drawers. Most of the workers are men but there are also two boys who are probably apprentices learning a trade. Timber and planking is piled up at the back of the workshop for use as it is needed.
