EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a moment in the bustling Ward & Sons bottling plant in Swinton, South Yorkshire. The image showcases the meticulous process of beer production during the vibrant 1960s era. In this snapshot of history, we witness skilled workers diligently filling bottles with Mackeson beer before expertly placing caps on them. These filled bottles then proceed along the efficient production line to be labeled by a sophisticated labeling machine. It is fascinating to note that Wards had an impressive capacity to fill and label up to 8000 bottles per hour. The atmosphere within the factory is one of industriousness and dedication as both male and female workers focus on their tasks. Amongst them stands a remarkable lady worker who exemplifies strength and determination in her profession. This photograph not only highlights the technical aspects of beer production but also provides insight into British industry during this period. It serves as a testament to the hardworking individuals who contributed to England's thriving drinks industry. Captured by Michael Walters from Paul Walters Worldwide Photography Ltd. , this monochrome masterpiece preserves an important chapter in our country's heritage.
