EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history during the 1930s, between the wars. The image showcases a fleet of Bedford trucks, proudly owned by Pledge & Son Ltd, a prominent milling company. These sturdy vehicles are being loaded up inside a bustling garage at their Victoria Mills located in Ashford, Kent. The monochrome composition adds an air of nostalgia to this snapshot from the twentieth century. Each truck stands tall and parked neatly alongside one another, displaying their iconic Bedford logo with pride. A trolley filled with sacks can be seen nearby, ready to be transported to various destinations across Europe. In the midst of this busy scene is a man diligently overseeing the loading process. His presence highlights the human element behind these mechanical giants as he ensures that everything runs smoothly. Photographer John Topham expertly captures both the grandeur and functionality of these Bedford lorries through his lens. This photograph serves as a testament to an era when transportation played a vital role in supporting industries like milling. As we gaze upon this timeless image, we are reminded of an era long gone but not forgotten - where hard work and dedication were essential for businesses like Pledge & Son Ltd to thrive amidst challenging times.
