EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1963, capturing a moment in time at the Danish Bacon Company distribution depot in Kilnhurst, South Yorkshire. Established in 1957, this depot was strategically located near Rotherham and boasted easy access to both the A1 road network and North Sea ports. The central position of Kilnhurst made it an ideal base for the company's operations. In this image, we see a warehouse with two Bedford TK lorries parked outside. These vehicles were essential for transporting goods across the country, ensuring that Danish Bacon products reached their destinations efficiently. Although partially hidden from view, an older Bedford lorry adds a touch of nostalgia to the scene. The monochrome aesthetic of this photograph enhances its timeless quality, allowing us to appreciate not only the industrial nature of the site but also its historical significance within Britain's food industry. This snapshot provides a glimpse into an era when transportation played a vital role in connecting businesses with customers nationwide. Captured by Michael Walters from Paul Walters Worldwide Photography Ltd. , this image serves as a testament to our rich heritage and reminds us of how far we have come since those bustling days at the Danish Bacon Company distribution depot in Kilnhurst.
