Beat the Heat - Co-operative Bank Staff Find Relief in Shorts during Newport's Scorching Summer of '90
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In the sweltering summer of 1990, as temperatures soared and a heatwave gripped Newport, staff at The Co-operative Bank in John Frost Square found themselves feeling the burn behind their counters. Faced with an unusual workplace challenge, these dedicated employees were granted special dispensation to ditch their traditional bank uniforms and don shorts instead. Captured by Rose from Memory Lane Prints, this nostalgic print transports us back to that scorching August day. In it, we see three counter staff members - Steve Gillham, June Butler (standing at the center), and Monica Tedaldi - keeping cool amidst a sea of paperwork and bustling customers. The image serves as a reminder of how working conditions can be affected by extreme weather conditions. As Wales experienced an unprecedented heatwave during that summer season, health and safety concerns prompted this unique adaptation within the banking industry. This snapshot not only showcases the resilience and adaptability of these bank tellers but also highlights their commitment to serving customers despite challenging circumstances. It captures a moment frozen in time when even established norms could be temporarily set aside for practicality's sake. Decades later, this photograph stands as a testament to both the camaraderie among colleagues enduring extraordinary situations together and our ability to find creative solutions when faced with unexpected challenges.
