British Steel Corporation Hard Hats Industrial Nationalised Redcar And Cleveland Steel Teesside Urban
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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to a significant moment in British industrial history. The image captures the intense atmosphere at the heart of the steel industry as workers gather around to witness the ignition of a blast furnace on that fateful day in 1979. The scene is filled with gritty determination and resilience, symbolizing an era when Britain's steel production was nationalized under the British Steel Corporation (BSC). Men clad in hard hats stand united against a backdrop of towering machinery and urban landscapes, showcasing their unwavering commitment to this vital sector. Redcar and Cleveland's Teesside region served as one of Britain's key steel manufacturing hubs during this time. This photograph not only immortalizes an important milestone for BSC but also pays tribute to countless individuals who dedicated their lives to keeping Britain's industrial flame burning bright. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of our nation's industrious spirit and collective strength. It encapsulates an era where heavy industry played a pivotal role in shaping communities while providing livelihoods for many hardworking men. Let this evocative image transport you back to an age when steel forged nations, reminding us all that progress is built upon foundations laid by those who dared to dream big amidst clouds of smoke and sparks flying high.
