EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from May 6th, 1964 takes us back to the bustling Kayser Bondor factory in Pentrebach & Dowlais, Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. Known for their expertise in manufacturing underwear, this image offers a glimpse into the hosiery division of the renowned company. In this snapshot of industrial history, we witness an operator diligently tending to not one but two knitting machines. These Full Fashioned Hosiery machines are at the heart of production within the textile industry. The male operators were affectionately referred to as Knitters - skilled craftsmen who played a vital role in creating high-quality garments. The atmosphere is alive with activity as workers navigate rows upon rows of machinery that fill the factory floor. This scene showcases both automation and manual labor side by side; a testament to the evolving nature of manufacturing during this era. As we delve into this moment frozen in time, it becomes apparent that each individual plays an integral part in bringing these garments to life. Their dedication and skill contribute to maintaining Kayser Bondor's reputation for excellence within the fashion industry. Preserved by Western Mail Archive and now available through Memory Lane Prints, this photograph serves as a reminder of not only the hard work put forth by these men but also highlights an important chapter in Wales' rich industrial heritage.
