Try a book called "Life Down t'Lane" by Len Thompson (I think). Seem to remember he mentioned a jam factory around Pottery Lane

The jam factory was on the south side of Avenue Road on Whittington Moor. I don't know who owned in but can remember it being in production in the 1950's.
It can be seen on the old maps of the area which can be viewed at :
