EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the Essence of Welsh Industry: J Harvey Limited Clothing Factory in Tredegar, 1965". In this nostalgic print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to a significant moment in Welsh industrial history. The image showcases the bustling J Harvey Limited Clothing factory located in Tredegar, Blaenau Gwent, southeast Wales on a crisp Friday morning of April 2nd, 1965. This thriving clothing factory specializes in crafting high-quality duffel coats, jackets, and trousers. With an impressive workforce of 300 employees - predominantly women - it stands as a testament to the vital role played by female workers during that era. However, change is imminent as Clifford Williams and Son Limited of Birmingham prepares to take over operations next week on April 9th. The photograph offers us a glimpse into the meticulous quality control process undertaken at J Harvey Limited. We see M H Jenkins, the dedicated Quality Manager meticulously inspecting each garment before its dispatch to customers. Standing beside him is Mrs H Hayward; she holds the crucial position of personnel officer at the factory. This snapshot not only captures moments frozen in time but also symbolizes an era when manufacturing and textile industries thrived across Wales. It serves as a reminder of how hardworking individuals contributed their skills and dedication towards building prosperous communities. As we admire this remarkable piece from Western Mail Archive's collection, let us appreciate both the rich heritage preserved within these walls and acknowledge those who labored tirelessly behind them.
