About this work
Description
Covering the years c.1904-1970.
Including memories of the Snow Hill offices of Burroughs Wellcome & Co; the early days of the Wellcome Chemical Research Laboratories.
Miss Juster recalls her time in the Medicine Chest Department: Haile Selassie was a customer and the world's smallest medicine chest was made for Queen Mary's Dolls' House. Miss Juster also recalls the bombing of the Snow Hill buildings during the Second World War ( "...it was an odd feeling to go back to work on Monday 12th May 1941 to find Snow Hill Buildings spread all over Holborn Viaduct").
Collected by Mr A. N. Falder, former Group Personnel Director, for use in the compilation of the Centenary Company History.
