Social history group Eastside Community Heritage has arranged the event on Friday September 25 at Stratford Library as a first step in its project to record details of life on the factory floor for its working lives of the Thames Gateway project.
It is keen to hear from anyone who worked at Newham's chemical factories which produced soap, heavy acid, rubber and paint factories.
The event starts at 2pm at the Hopkins Room at the library at The Grove when refreshments will be on offer followed by a discussion and a chance to look at archive photos.
