EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time at Whitwick Brickworks, Coalville, Leicestershire in 1963. In the image, a skilled yardsman can be seen expertly stacking pallets of bricks using a Coventry Climax forklift truck. The forklift truck was first introduced by the company in 1946 with their ET199 model. Interestingly, this photograph was taken during the same year that Jaguar acquired Coventry Climax, which later became part of the British Leyland Corporation. By the late 1980s, Kalmar Industries had acquired Coventry Climax's forklift truck interests and began trading as Kalmar Climax. The monochrome composition beautifully highlights the industrial setting of this brickworks factory. It showcases not only the hard work and dedication of these workers but also provides a glimpse into Britain's manufacturing industry during this era. Photographed by Michael Walters from Paul Walters Worldwide Photography Ltd. , this image is an invaluable piece of history that reflects on occupation, trade, transportation, and manual labor prevalent in mid-20th century England. It serves as a testament to the importance of industries like brickmaking that played a significant role in shaping both local communities and national development. This stunning print is perfect for those interested in capturing glimpses of Britain's industrial past or anyone seeking to add an authentic touch to their collection depicting life and work during the 1960s.
