The factory at Maryport was built to help with the ever growing demand for rubber footwear. It was based on the pattern of progress established at East Tilbury and specialised in the production of rubber footwear by advanced methods of prefabrication and direct vulcanisation processes. This plant, like the main plant at East Tilbury, is outside the traditional centres of British Shoemaking and has been purposely sited in an area of heavy unemployment in order to bring industry and jobs to thousands.

"Eppy", William Adair joined the Bata Shoe Company in 1946. He was one of a group from Maryport who spent a lot of 1946 at East Tilbury learning his trade before returning to Maryport and participating in the start of production there. He went into the Textile Manipulation Department and was still working there in 1978 when he was named as Maryport's Employee of the Month.
