This used to known as the Walls sausage factory until it was taken over by Kerry Foods in 1994.
According to Tameside MBC the main operations at the site include the processing and packaging of pork and bacon products such as sausage and sliced bacon, white meat products such as turkey rashers and distribution of some 700 tonnes of food products each week.
It lies by the former Godley East railway station.

Well it's about dinner time here on the West coast of the USA so you are making my mouth water. Great catch going by the plant...
Cor! I'm hungry too! LOL!
Always time for a sausage! LOL!
Happy days, I used to work there when I was a student between 1906 -1970. Some friends and I used to be there every holidays - we loved it. My first job was peeling boiled eggs for the grosvener pies. But, also my first taste of working when there was a strike on and having to pass an angry picket line!
Need my glasses - I was a student between 1976 and 1979. LOL!
An interesting piece of Hyde history.
Nice shot, Gerald, I like the blur your train travel made.
It's very beautiful: the train movement gives to the scene an idea like a paint !
Interesting facts about the factory for you K post. I have to ask, though, what is a rasher?
I like the slightly blurred look of the photo.
the motion in the picture and the commentary of how the subject has moved on makes it very interesting
Did they serve any of their products on the train?
Ahhhhhhhhhh train rides…
Great picture and for sure love the background information and links
Good catch from the train, Gerald.
Thanks for your help on my theme day post yesterday. I haven't tried it yet, but I wanted to thank you for your kindness.
Being a vegetarian this place would not interest me but I am sure my husband would love their products. Love the movement blur on the photo.
Very interesting place.
Great capture Gerald.
Good one for K post in ABC.
come visit and see mine.
Very unassuming building for all those sausages. Who would guess what is happening behind those walls.
Hmmmm... so where are Walls now? I used to like the advert with a terrier growling "Walls!".
It is taking me a while to get through all of Theme Day photos (and I did) and now I am working on ABC Wed! Nice "K".
