EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history at the Berkeley Nuclear Power Station construction site in Gloucestershire. The image showcases the challenges faced during the 1950s as workers dealt with a high water table after heavy rainfall. Against the backdrop of a flooded area, we see a lone figure diligently carrying out a survey base on the perimeter of the site. The photograph is part of the Breaking New Ground Project, undertaken by Historic England Archive in collaboration with the John Laing Charitable Trust between 2019 and 2020. It serves as an invaluable record of this significant period in nuclear power station construction. The image not only highlights the technical complexities involved but also offers insight into how nature's forces can impact such ambitious projects. Despite adverse conditions, it is evident that determination and resilience were key attributes possessed by those working on-site. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of both human ingenuity and our vulnerability to natural elements. This print stands as a testament to mankind's unwavering pursuit of progress while acknowledging that Mother Nature holds immense power over our endeavors. Historic England Archive has preserved this remarkable piece for future generations to appreciate and learn from, ensuring that these historical moments are never forgotten.
