The Duke of Kent chatting to Tommy Blackledge, works union conveynor and other members of the workforce.

I think the date would be around 1970, not sure.

Great pic! Anyone remember my dad Harold Unsworth? he worked at Gullicks until 1970. Cheers

No idea who this guy in the overcoat is but is not the Duke of Kent. The Duke of Kent did visit Gullicks but this is not him.

Yes I do, I worked with him in Development. In fact it was me that gave him his nickname but off-hand I couldn't tell you, it was one the famous cowboys of the 60's he was the spitting image.
