World War Two - Second World War - A record output of 200
World War Two - Second World War - A record output of 200, 000 bricks in 48 hours was reached by Blythe and Sons, Birtley, a North-East firm with a history extending over nearly 80 years. This was probably a record not only for the North, but for the whole of the country. The staff, which included eight women and two ex-soldiers who were at Dunkirk, were working as never before in order to do their bit in helping the country.

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

World War Two - Second World War - A record output of 200,000 bricks in 48 hours was reached by Blythe and Sons, Birtley, a North-East firm with a history extending over nearly 80 years. This was probably a record not only for the North but for the whole country. The staff, which included eight women and two ex-soldiers who were at Dunkirk, were working as never before in order to do their bit in helping the country. In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we witness an extraordinary moment during the height of World War Two. The image showcases dedicated workers on a production line at Blythe and Sons factory in Birtley. Their tireless efforts resulted in an astounding achievement – producing an unprecedented 200,000 bricks within just 48 hours. The photograph captures the essence of resilience and unity that defined this era. Amongst these determined individuals are eight remarkable women who defied societal norms to contribute to the war effort alongside two brave ex-soldiers who had experienced firsthand the horrors of Dunkirk. As they work diligently amidst towering stacks of bricks, it is evident that every brick laid represents hope and progress towards rebuilding our nation torn apart by war. Their unwavering commitment exemplifies how ordinary people can come together to achieve extraordinary feats when faced with adversity. This poignant snapshot serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and collective spirit during one of history's darkest chapters. It stands as a reminder that
