Armstrong Condition Leaving New Castle Saturday Work Men
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time at the Armstrong Gunworks in Newcastle back in 1887. The image shows a group of workmen leaving the factory on a Saturday afternoon, signaling the end of another week of hard labor. As they exit the gates, one can almost feel the sense of relief and anticipation for some well-deserved rest and relaxation.
The condition of the factory is evident in this historical photograph, with its imposing structure looming in the background as smoke billows from its chimneys. The men themselves are dressed in their working attire, showcasing a snapshot of what life was like for industrial workers during that era.
It's fascinating to imagine what these men might have been thinking or feeling as they left work that day - perhaps looking forward to spending time with loved ones or simply enjoying some downtime before returning to work on Monday morning. This image serves as a reminder of the tireless efforts put forth by generations past to keep factories like Armstrong Gunworks running smoothly.
Mary Evans Picture Library has preserved this piece of history through their collection, allowing us to glimpse into the lives of those who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to fuel industrial progress.
