m Central Goods Depot's warehouse being used to store boxes of Quaker Oats

View of the top floor of Birmingham Central Goods Depot's warehouse being used to store boxes of Quaker Oats. As Quaker Oats was the first cereal to be sold already packaged its most likely that the boxes contain the round packets of oats that was the company trade mark for so many years. Quaker Oats was an American company and wasn't at all connected with the Quaker faith despite trademarking the name and created the icon of a Quaker man as its corporate image.
