This photograph is one in a set of three showing the upper floor of the main office after it was rebuilt following the damage caused by the Luftwaffe on the evening of 12th December 1940. The hierarchy that once pervaded British businesses is illustrated by the fact that there were several dining/mess facilities provided across the yard. In the main office block this was the canteen for the wages (uniformed) staff and it was located on the top floor nearest the Top shed. C1967
