EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the detonator production at the ICI plant in Denaby Main, South Yorkshire, in 1962. For over seven decades, this site was dedicated to manufacturing these explosive devices until the mid-1960s. The image showcases a bustling industrial scene with workers diligently engaged on the production line. In this monochrome snapshot of British industry during the 20th century, we witness a female worker among her colleagues inside the factory. Her presence highlights the significant role women played in this male-dominated profession. With determination and skill, she contributes to the meticulous process of creating detonators that were crucial for various applications. The photograph by Michael Walters from Paul Walters Worldwide Photography Ltd offers us a glimpse into an era when manual labor was essential for manufacturing processes. It symbolizes not only hard work but also technological advancements that shaped Britain's industrial landscape during that time. Located in Denaby Main, South Yorkshire, this ICI plant served as a hub for explosives production and provided employment opportunities for countless individuals who contributed to their country's growth and development. This image serves as a testament to their dedication and expertise.
