EDITORS COMMENTS
The photograph captures a significant moment in the industrial history of ICI, Wilton. In this image, we witness the meticulous process of fitting the bottom half of a colossal 5000-ton chemical storage tank into place. The tank's purpose is to house VCM, vinyl chloride monomer, which will be transported from the newly constructed works opposite Lackenby Works on the Trunk Road. Taken on September 25th, 1978, during the vibrant era of British manufacturing in East Cleveland, North Yorkshire, this snapshot showcases both the magnitude and precision required for such an undertaking. The immense size of the tank dominates the frame as it stands tall against a backdrop of lush trees that provide a striking contrast to its industrial presence. This photograph serves as a testament to ICI's contribution to Teesside's thriving chemical industry during that time period. It symbolizes progress and innovation within an ever-evolving landscape. As we delve into this visual time capsule from decades past, we are reminded not only of ICI's legacy but also how industries shape regions and communities. Memory Lane Prints presents us with an opportunity to reflect upon our shared heritage by preserving these historical moments through their captivating prints. This particular image encapsulates not just a company or commercial endeavor but rather represents an entire era defined by growth and transformation in Britain's industrial heartland.
