EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time at the construction site of Eggborough Power Station in North Yorkshire during the 1960s. Four diligent workers from Laing, dressed in their work attire, are engrossed in studying plans and diagrams for the stressing of cooling water pipes. The atmosphere is one of focused determination as they collaborate on this crucial aspect of the power station's development. The image provides a glimpse into the meticulous planning and attention to detail required for such an ambitious project. These dedicated individuals exemplify teamwork and professionalism as they analyze every line and measurement on the paperwork spread out before them. Originally featured in Laings' monthly newsletter, Team Spirit, this photograph showcases not only the technical aspects involved but also highlights the human element behind its construction. It serves as a testament to both individual expertise and collective effort that went into building Eggborough Power Station. Preserved by Historic England Archive, this image offers us a fascinating insight into an era when physical blueprints were meticulously studied rather than digital renderings swiftly scrolled through on screens. It reminds us of how far we have come technologically while also appreciating the dedication shown by those who laid down foundations for our modern infrastructure.
