| Description | In 1906, Cannon Iron Foundries Ltd. celebrated their 80th Anniversary with a celebration dinner, held in the main hall of one of the buildings of the new Works. Around 800 work-people attended the event, and the caterers cooked the dinner on Cannon gas cooking stoves. These two photographs of the dinner show the hall from different aspects, one photograph facing towards the 'top table' with Mr Clayton and other managers at the back of the hall; the other taken from the other direction showing serving waitresses and male waiting staff. |
