Gasometer Revamp: A Glimpse into Women's Contribution during World War I". This photo print, captured by A. R. Coster in 1918, transports us back to a significant moment in history - the revamp of a deflated gasometer at the Gas Light and Coke Company in Bromley By Bow, England. As Europe was engulfed in the turmoil of World War I, this image showcases the remarkable role played by women workers on the home front. In this landscape format photograph, we witness a group of both male and female workers diligently painting the top of the gasometer. The scene is filled with an air of determination as these individuals contribute their skills to support Britain's war efforts. The stark contrast between light and shadow adds depth to this archival masterpiece, emphasizing not only their occupation but also their resilience amidst challenging times. This snapshot serves as a poignant reminder that gender boundaries were being challenged even during such tumultuous periods. As we delve deeper into this historical artifact, it becomes evident that these women were breaking barriers within an industry dominated by men. Their presence symbolizes progress and empowerment for future generations. Let us cherish this extraordinary glimpse into our past – where ordinary people became heroes through their dedication to duty – forever immortalized through A. R Coster's lens.
