EDITORS COMMENTS
Children at Play Outside the Old Gannex Factory in Elland, Yorkshire, England (1988) This evocative photograph captures a moment of innocent joy as children climb and play on the ruins of the old Gannex factory in Elland, Yorkshire, England. The factory, which once produced the iconic Gannex raincoats, has been demolished, leaving behind only remnants of its industrial past. The Gannex raincoats, known for their distinctive yellow and green stripes, became fashion icons in the late 20th century. Worn by world leaders such as British Prime Minister Harold Wilson, The Queen, and Nikita Krushchev, these raincoats were a symbol of style and practicality. The factory's closure marked the end of an era in the textile industry of Elland. The children in the photograph seem oblivious to the history and significance of the place they are playing. They focus on the fun to be had in climbing the stone wall and exploring the chimney stacks. The image transports us back to the 1980s, a time when the industrial landscape of Elland was in transition, and the future was uncertain. The photograph, taken by acclaimed photographer Philip Dunn, captures the essence of childhood and the enduring appeal of play. It also serves as a poignant reminder of the passing of time and the changing landscape of Elland, a town once synonymous with the production of Gannex raincoats.
