Merseyside Food Products

From Graces Guide

Merseyside Food Products Ltd of Marsh Lane, later 185 Regent Road, Bootle.

Edible oil producers.

1939 Producing 'Pier Head' brand margarine. Company Head: Leo Gurwitsch.[1]

The Regent Road premises had originally been the marine engineering North Works of H. and C. Grayson. It appears that the southern block was converted to a warehouse at some point before being occupied by Merseyside Food Products in the 1950s.

1984? Regent Road factory closed.

Photo of Regent Road Works here. The words 'Engine Works' dating from H & C Grayson's occupation, can still be seen above the bricked-up arched doorway on the far right.
