EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling Kayser Bondor textiles factory in Pentrebach & Dowlais, Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. It is a snapshot of history, frozen in time on the 1st of September 1960. Mrs Mair Evans, a skilled sewing machine worker, stands proudly at her station as she meticulously crafts trimmings for slips on an automatic sewing machine. The image transports us into the heart of this thriving textile industry during the mid-20th century. The interior scene reveals rows upon rows of dedicated women like Mrs Evans operating their sewing machines along a production line. Their nimble fingers work tirelessly to create high-quality hosiery that would soon be cherished by customers around the world. This photograph not only captures the essence of manufacturing and production but also highlights the significant role played by women in this era. These talented individuals were vital contributors to Wales' industrial landscape and helped shape its reputation as a hub for textile excellence. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Memory Lane Prints, we are reminded of how far our society has come since then while appreciating the hard work and dedication that went into creating these beautiful garments.
