The photos were originally posted on Facebook by ex-Shippham’s worker Christopher Butler. Mr Butler, from Parklands, worked the the iconic factory from 1975 after being interviewed by Ernest Shippham himself, right up until 2019 and described the factory as ‘like it’s own little town’ with its own bar, sports teams, social clubs and healthcare.
The post was warmly received by Chichester residents who shared font memories of the factory.
Who can you recognise in the pictures?
