  • My Grandmotherr worked at the Tri-ang Merton Factory, South London, from the 1950's to 1970's, dressing Cindy Dolls. The exterior shots in this film are of The Welsh Valleys and terraced houses of Merthyr Tydfil and not of South London. However, it gives us a fascinating insite into the conditions in which our Grandmother worked to support her family.
    Thankyou & Best Regards, Ian
