The image showcases a dedicated worker lending a helping hand as they carefully lower a precast concrete panel into position. This snapshot from the 1950s captures the essence of hard work and precision that went into building one of Britain's most significant power stations. The photograph is part of the Breaking New Ground Project, which was undertaken in collaboration with the John Laing Charitable Trust in 2019-20. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess during an era when nuclear power was still relatively new and groundbreaking. Berkeley Power Station, located in Berkeley, Ham and Stone, Stroud, Gloucestershire, holds historical significance as it played a vital role in shaping Britain's energy landscape. The image provides us with an intimate glimpse into the immense effort required to construct such an ambitious project. Preserved by Historic England Archive under their copyright protection, this print not only documents an important milestone but also pays tribute to all those who contributed their skills towards powering our nation.
