EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the construction of the Patons and Baldwins knitting factory in Darlington. The image showcases a group of dedicated Laing workers diligently fixing shuttering on the construction site, symbolizing the tireless efforts that went into building this iconic textile industry establishment. Taken during the 1940s, this photograph is not just a snapshot of people at work but also represents progress and development within the textile industry. It serves as a testament to the hardworking men who played an integral role in shaping Britain's industrial landscape. Catalogued as part of the Breaking New Ground Project, in collaboration with the John Laing Charitable Trust, this image holds immense historical value. It offers us a glimpse into an era when factories were being built from scratch, laying foundations for economic growth and prosperity. The stark contrast between light and shadow adds depth to this composition, emphasizing both strength and determination exhibited by these skilled workmen. As we admire their craftsmanship through time-honored techniques employed during construction, we are reminded of how far our society has come since then. Preserved by Historic England Archive, this print invites us to reflect upon our industrial heritage while appreciating those who paved the way for future generations.
