Description
B&W negative copied in 1990 from official albums then held at Grangemouth refinery.
Candles and a range of wax products, were produced in great quantities by Young's company at Addiewell and the Broxburn company at Broxburn. This view, probably at Broxburn Oilworks shows boys at work assembling and packing nightlights. Each place at the assembly bench is equipped with a press and a tray of components. A wick was pushed through the wax plug then fitted into a cardboard tub. The finished nightlight is then packed into boxes.
