EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1985, the transformation of central Middlesbrough is evident as lush vegetation replaces the once dominant chemical plants of ICI Billingham. The image showcases a group of 20 employees from a new company offshoot called Industrial Efficiency Systems, surrounded by vibrant Philodendron, Josephs Coat, and Grape Ivy. One employee, Tony Bell-Berry, who previously worked in engineering but now sells computer software, expresses his enthusiasm for their new surroundings: "We love it here". This statement reflects the positive sentiment shared by all those present in this snapshot of change. The photograph captures a significant moment in time when traditional heavy industry was giving way to more sustainable and environmentally conscious practices. It symbolizes the shift towards embracing nature within urban landscapes and signifies the evolving priorities of businesses during that era. The presence of these thriving plants not only adds beauty to the scene but also serves as a reminder that progress can be achieved without compromising our natural surroundings. It highlights how companies like Industrial Efficiency Systems are adapting to meet changing demands while prioritizing sustainability. This image transports us back to an era where industrial towns were undergoing profound transformations.
