Nine retro photos of Plessey’s factory in South Tyneside- did you work there?

What can you remember about the telecommunications factory?

Did you work at Plessey?

We have nine reminders of factory scenes, sports day reminders, fundraising and the day an important visitor did a tour.

Perhaps you are pictured or you can spot someone you know. We would love to hear from anyone with memories of working at the factory.

Take a look through our photo collection and then get in touch to tell us more.
