Légende

A group of female workers posed at the opening ceremony for the new bottling plant at the State-owned brewery in Carlisle. The opening ceremony of the bottling plant was performed by Sir Sydney O Nevile, a director of Whitbread's Brewery, but also a founder member of the State Management Districts Committee and the Central Control Board (Liquor Traffic) which had established the Carlisle State Management Scheme during the First World War. The bottling plant was built to supply increasing demand for bottled beers and in particular for those with no sediment. The plant had two lines of bottling machinery with a maximum production of 450 dozen bottles an hour.
