The thing is, back then it was a thing of choice
Now it is a thing of fashion, which is far, far worse!!! |

Haha, wires crossed.
I think beards are now more of a fashion accessory and some sort of basic sign of manliness! I don't really get it, but couldn't grow one if I tried, They've been popular in the US for decades, but over here have only recently become a must have sign to prove you are a man!! PLus with a shaved head they look rather ridiculous! |

Basically it fairly accurately predicted the future styles and behaviours which i'm not sure the creators realised at the time. |

Back to J Watson, IIRC he did a deal with Roger Penske who did not like his beard, the deal was John would shave it off when he won a GP in a Penske car.

Penske was Ron Dennis before Ron knew what pedantic was!

It's not there anymore, and thankfully neither is the smell!
Also gone is the huge Roche place that was next to it! |

Am I right in thinking there are now houses where the Shredded Wheat factory once was?

I think the SW place is listed, at least some of it is? Was quite an art deco thing.
Roche is all gone, it would likely be industry not houses as it is next to the railway, or apartment blocks. Shredded Wheat was still there a few years ago, or the shell was. Huge plot of land. Such a shame. |
