Willy HQ

Recommended Posts

I knew that I was living in the same region as 'where it all began' i.e. the Merseyside area.  However, I recently discovered that I am located even more closer geographically to 'Willy HQ' than I thought.

 

It transpires that Software Projects were based at the old Bear Brands site in Woolton Village, which is less than half a mile away from my house (and is now the home of my local branch of Tesco's!)

Very few pictures exist of the bear brand

Picture 2 view from the air

 

Picture 3 Gate past the main office down towards the works

 

Picture 4 A crude overlay of the building on a map.

 

 

Pictures 1 and 3 by John Shaw. Just before the demolition.

All the workers used the nearby Sainburys , as a food source.
