EDITORS COMMENTS

In 1962, contractors from Woodall Duckham were tasked with the challenging feat of lifting an impressive 85-foot absorption tower into position at the plant near Birmingham. The monochrome image showcases the sheer magnitude of this industrial endeavor as a group of determined workers meticulously maneuver the towering structure using cranes. The absorption tower itself had been carefully transported by road from its construction site in Manchester to reach its final destination. With every detail frozen in time, this photograph serves as a metaphor for both progress and resilience within Britain's coal industry during that era. It symbolizes the dedication and hard work put forth by countless individuals who contributed to powering the country.
