EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the ICI powder works team proudly posing in front of the Safety League board in Denaby Main, South Yorkshire, 1962. The location of this industrial site was deliberately chosen for its isolation, owing to the sensitive nature of detonator manufacturing conducted on-site. In this snapshot from the 1960s, we witness a group portrait that epitomizes British industry during that era. Clad in their work overalls, these dedicated factory workers exude a sense of camaraderie and professionalism. Their faces reflect both determination and pride as they stand united before the Safety League board—a testament to their commitment to maintaining safety standards within an inherently hazardous environment. The photographer behind this remarkable image is Michael Walters from Paul Walters Worldwide Photography Ltd. Through his lens, he skillfully captures not only the physical presence of these men but also their unwavering dedication to their trade. This monochrome photograph serves as a poignant reminder of an important chapter in Britain's industrial history. As we delve into this historical moment frozen in time, it becomes evident that each face represents more than just a worker; they symbolize an entire community reliant on industries like ICI for employment and sustenance. This print stands as a tribute to all those who labored tirelessly behind factory walls—unsung heroes whose contributions shaped our nation's progress throughout the 20th century.
