Jenners' Workers
"My mother worked in the
millinery department at Jenners for a couple of years after she left
school in 1936.
She told me that, as well as employing local girls, Jenners
used to employ refined young ladies of good breeding from further
afield – some from England.
They lived in their own ‘secure’ Jenners’ accommodation in a
house somewhere down the Milton Road. I seem to remember it
was not far east of today’s roundabout past Portobello Golf course,
that leads left to Portobello and right to Fort Kinnaird."

"My understanding is that
Jenners' Staff Accommodation was at what is now Queen's Bay Lodge in
Joppa."
