EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene at Browns Foundry 14 in Stockton-on-Tees during the 1970s. The foundry, located on the banks of the River Tees, was a key industrial hub in the region and played a significant role in the local economy. In the foreground of the image, a worker in a heavy-duty coat and steel-capped boots stands by a large pile of iron rods, ready to be loaded into the foundry furnace. Smoke billows from the chimney, a constant reminder of the intense heat and energy required to transform raw materials into finished products. To the left of the photograph, two men in flat caps and overalls are deep in conversation, their faces obscured by the steam rising from the foundry. A third man, dressed in a suit and holding a clipboard, looks on intently, likely assessing the day's production. The River Tees flows gently in the background, its calm waters a stark contrast to the industrial chaos unfolding on the banks. The scene is completed by the iconic red and white cranes of the Tees Dock, a symbol of the area's industrial heritage and its connection to the wider world. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when industry was at the heart of life in Stockton-on-Tees. It serves as a reminder of the hard work and dedication of the men and women who labored in the foundries, and the important role they played in shaping the town's history.
