  • This video is a tribute to all the people who worked at the Creda Works Blythe Bridge helping it to become the largest manufacturer of quality cooking products in the U/K (producing approx. 14500 cookers per week in its heyday).
    Regrettably manufacturing was transferred to Poland in 2007.

      Sorry for your loss.
      Harry was a very knowledgeable man always willing to help other people and very well liked.
      He always enjoyed his chess session with Peter Atkins once a week.
      Harry always had a camera available to capture the moment - most of the images in CREDA the Golden Memories are Harry's photos.

    My Dad worked in the Blythe Bridge Creda after the mines closed in Stoke. He was there from 1993 - 2004 but had to leave do to a workplace injury, he over did it carrying an oven which did his arm in. It's still messed up today so he can't work sadly.
    He always had bad luck with work injuries, smashing his thumb nail clean off on a truck buffer in the mines and ripping the muscles in his arm carrying an oven lol poor sod can't catch a break.

    No way, there was a Grenedier Fire Lighter at the house my family moved to in Caverswall in 1977. We used it for a good while until it finally gave up the ghost.

    I used to ride past on my way to work at a motorcycle dealership every day. Some of our customers were Creda people. I never understood, why the move to Poland?

    I worked at the Blythe Bridge factory in 1971 but only for 9 months as it was a terrible place to work, what with the welding fumes & poor lighting. I soon got out of there & got myself a civilised job lol 😁

    Thatcher chose banks and stocks over hard labour. The end of the working class as we know it.

      Thatcher never did a hard day's work in her life. Being cruel and vicious was her hobby.
