The image shows workers diligently shoveling sugar at the Counterslip refinery, showcasing the laborious process of sugar cultivation and manufacture during this time period. The scene is bustling with activity as workers, dressed in traditional attire of the era, work tirelessly to process and refine the sweet substance that would eventually find its way into various food and drink products.
