SUMMARY:Museum Of Liverpool: Museum of Liverpool: Littlewoods Heritage Proj
 ect display
DESCRIPTION:Littlewoods Heritage Project display\n1 Feb 2024—28 Apr 2024\
 n\nThe world-famous Liverpool company Littlewoods is remembered through th
 e eyes of its workers in this display.\n\nLittlewoods was an iconic brand 
 founded by Sir John Moores and his brother Cecil. From the humble beginnin
 gs of the Football Pools in 1923 to the evolution of mail order catalogues
  and retail stores\, Littlewoods became a household name and a national in
 stitution.\n\nThe company employed 30\,000 people at its peak\, mostly wom
 en. The display tells the stories of this workforce\, with a strong focus 
 on the social life of the factory and its legacy in the wider community.\n
 \nTheir tales are told through reproductions of vintage photographs\, coup
 ons\, promotional materials and other memorabilia. The display is founded 
 in five years of research and interviews\, as part of the Littlewoods Her
 itage Project.\n\nThe Moores brothers were renowned for looking after thei
 r employees\; not only did they pay the best wage in Liverpool\, but ‘Li
 ttlewoodies’ were also treated to day trips and given the chance to join
  in-house sports teams\, choirs and amateur dramatic groups.\n\nDuring the
  war Littlewoods buildings were commandeered to make barrage balloons and 
 Halifax bombers as the women were repurposed for the wartime effort. With 
 the rise of automation they were one of the first companies in the UK to i
 ntroduce IBM computers.\n\nBehind these innovations are tales of sisterhoo
 d\, camaraderie and lifelong friendships amongst the women who were proud 
 to be Littlewoodies.
