EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the construction of a new sugar silo at Newark Sugar Factory. Taken in the 1970s, it showcases a team of dedicated Laing workers pouring concrete into a formwork mould using sliding formwork technology. The image provides an intriguing glimpse into the intricate process involved in building such structures. The photograph is part of the Breaking New Ground Project, undertaken by Historic England Archive in collaboration with the John Laing Charitable Trust during 2019-20. It serves as a valuable historical record, documenting not only the progress made in construction techniques but also highlighting the importance of teamwork and expertise required for such projects. The stark contrast between light and shadow adds depth to this visually striking image. The towering sugar silo looms overhead, while workers diligently carry out their tasks below. Their focused expressions reflect their dedication to their craft. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the laborious efforts that went into constructing essential infrastructure like sugar silos. It reminds us of how far we have come technologically and pays homage to those who played crucial roles behind-the-scenes.
