History of iconic Littlewoods revealed

Helen Jones

Available for over a year

Littlewoods is to be remembered through the eyes of its legions of workers in a unique showing at the Museum of Liverpool. World-famous for its football gambling and retail business, the Liverpool company employed mostly women with 30,000 鈥楲ittlewoodies鈥�, many based at the Edge Lane HQ. The display includes vintage photographs, letters, coupons, promotional materials and memorabilia and has a strong focus on the social life of the factory and its legacy in the wider community. It's been put together by Dr Ruth Doughty, Head of Film Studies at Liverpool John Moores University along with women like Lynne McCarrick, who worked at Littlewoods.
