Local and Community History Month: The Voices of Courtaulds The Voices of Courtaulds exhibition at Flint Library is based on the memories and photographs of Courtauld employees from the five Flintshire factory sites. The company was at the forefront of technological development within the textile industry, and pioneered the manufacture of rayon through the viscose process. Courtaulds had three factory sites in Flint: Aber Works, Deeside Mills and Castle Works. There were two rayon production facilities at Greenfield named Number 1 and 2. At its height, the Courtauld company employed over 10,000 people in Flintshire, with generations of families working there. Each factory had an active social calendar with clubs and societies, sporting events, and pantomimes for the children. There was fierce competition for the coveted Rayon Queen title.
