It was known as Northern Aircraft Ltd. in 1941 and then became Cornercroft(Northern)Ltd. making parts for Aircraft during the War when Coventry was bombed out. Post-War production in 1945 was when they changed over to manufacturing sets of Pots and Pans and also was the first place to make plastic sets of egg cups - four to a set, one each shade of yellow, green, red and blue!<br />I worked as Secretary to Mr. Gascoigne first when he was the Buyer and then as the Sales Manager in 1945.
