EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Start them early" captures a heartwarming moment on the sandy shores of Skegness, Lincolnshire. In this nostalgic image, a dedicated Laing worker can be seen lending a helping hand to a small child as they construct an impressive sandcastle together. The photograph was taken during a staff outing to Skegness, where approximately 100 people from various contracts in Grimsby, Carringtons Coppice, East Leake, and Leicester gathered for a day of fun and relaxation by the sea. The man featured in this picture is believed to be G. B. Malcolm, who had been with the company since 1928 before rising through the ranks to become Area Agent in 1948 and District Manager in 1950. This snapshot beautifully encapsulates childhood memories, family life, seaside adventures, sport and recreation all rolled into one frame. It exemplifies the spirit of Laing employees coming together outside of work to enjoy each other's company and create lasting bonds. Preserved by Historic England Archive as part of their extensive collection showcasing Britain's rich history, this photo serves as a reminder of simpler times when day trips like these were cherished moments that brought joy to both young and old alike.
