This photo shows BBC radio DJs who used to visit the Wolsey factory in Kimberley to entertain the workers.

Radio stars on tour

The ‘Playtime’ show would tour the country visiting different factories, entertaining workers with singing and different acts.

The names of the people in the photo are not known, but it was taken in December 1955.

The famous Wolsey factory was knocked down to make way for the shopping precinct we see today.
