1950s Catering Food People Work
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Historic England, we are transported back to the 1950s where a member of the catering staff is diligently preparing food for the hardworking individuals on the construction site of the iconic London to Yorkshire Motorway, famously known as the M1. The image beautifully captures an era when progress and development were at their peak. The scene showcases a bustling atmosphere with people engaged in various tasks, while our dedicated caterer focuses on serving up a hearty breakfast of bacon and eggs. This snapshot not only highlights the importance of sustenance during demanding work but also provides insight into how essential teamwork was in accomplishing such monumental projects. It's fascinating to see how this image has been catalogued as part of Breaking New Ground Project, which partnered with the esteemed John Laing Charitable Trust in 2019-20. Through this collaboration, Historic England aims to preserve and celebrate significant moments like these that shaped our nation's history. As we admire this remarkable photograph by A© Historic England Archive, let us appreciate not just its aesthetic value but also acknowledge and honor those unsung heroes who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to bring about progress and connectivity through infrastructure development.
