EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a heartwarming scene from the past, showcasing the resilience and dedication of mothers in boosting production at Broadstone Mill, Reddish. In this snapshot from July 1948, we witness an extraordinary sight as mothers and their babies board the "Mothers Special" bus after a long day's work. The mill nursery served as a safe haven for these little ones while their mothers toiled away inside the bustling mill. From dawn till dusk, these hardworking women contributed to the war effort or supported their families through laborious tasks within the textile industry. As evening approached, it was time for these devoted matriarchs to reunite with their precious bundles of joy. The "Mothers Special" provided them with a convenient means of transportation back home just in time for tea with dad. This daily ritual not only allowed families to share moments together but also showcased the unwavering strength and determination of these incredible women. This image is a poignant reminder of an era when motherhood intertwined seamlessly with work responsibilities. It serves as a testament to the sacrifices made by countless mothers who strived to provide for their families during challenging times. Preserved through Memory Lane Prints, this photograph offers us a glimpse into history—a touching tribute that celebrates both maternal love and female empowerment in post-war Lancashire.
