In the years leading up to and after the Second World War, many women left school at 14 to work in the bustling factories of London's East End. Of all the factories that lined the docks, it was at Tate & Lyle's where you could earn the most generous wages and enjoy the best social life. 'The Sugar Girls' recalls memories of this era.
