« on: Saturday 08 December 18 10:34 GMT (UK) »
I am a pensioner of Imperial Tobacco - and their latest newsletter has this news.

All the commemorative plaques, both WW1 and WW2,  from all the former production facilities are now all together in a Memorial Garden at the company's global HQ, Winterstoke Road, Bristol.

Visits by prior arrangement.
Telephone HQ on 0117 963 6636

How nice they have been kept and are together.
I assume they would have been at the various places where there were depots?
So many have been lost to demolitions, modernisation etc.
Such a little thing for all those lives and all the sadder for not being treasured.
Thanks,many people will be pleased to have that information.
Viktoria.

@KGarrad

My Nan used to work at Imperial. Not sure for how long, it often came up in conversation, but I never asked but I am in possession of a few photos taken from inside an office with several staff members. I assume this is from in there. So, If you're interested in them I'll be glad to send copies to you in hopes of finding perhaps yourself or friends.
