EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time at the Walls Ice Cream Factory in Gloucester, Gloucestershire. The image showcases a skilled worker operating a forklift to carefully move a crate of metal containers within the cold store. The factory, built by T. Walls and Sons Limited, was an ambitious project that began in February 1959 on a vast 30-acre site at Barnwood. The £2 million venture included various buildings such as production blocks, workshops, offices, canteens, boiler houses, water towers, and engineers' shops. This particular photograph highlights the importance of the cold store within the food processing plant. It served as a refrigerated storage facility for maintaining optimal conditions for ice cream production. Transporting heavy crates filled with metal containers required precision and expertise from workers like this man operating the forklift. His focused expression reflects his dedication to ensuring smooth operations within this bustling factory setting. Dating back to the 1960s era of British manufacturing excellence, this image offers us a glimpse into one aspect of food production during that time period. Preserved by Historic England Archive's collection and expertly captured by A© Joh photographer; it serves as both an informative historical document and an intriguing visual representation of industrial progress in action
