EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Historic England Archive takes us back to the 1960s, offering a glimpse into the bustling Pirelli Tyre Factory in Carlisle, Cumbria. The image showcases an interior view of this state-of-the-art facility, with rows upon rows of shelving stacked high with boxes. Amidst this organized chaos stands a man on a mobile platform, diligently lifting one of these boxes. Constructed by John Laing Construction Ltd. , the Pirelli factory was completed in two phases. The footwear division came first, followed by the tyre division in November 1968. This photograph captures the essence of productivity and industry that defined this era. The sight of countless rubber products neatly arranged within this warehouse is a testament to both human ingenuity and technological advancement. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of manufacturing processes and logistics management.
