EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back in time to November 1963, offering a mesmerizing aerial view of the Brentford factories. The image showcases two prominent landmarks on the Great West Road - the Gillette Factory and Firestone Tyre Factory - standing tall amidst an industrial landscape.
The Gillette Factory, with its distinctive architecture, can be seen dominating the foreground. Its grandeur is accentuated by rows of windows that allow natural light to flood into the building, hinting at a bustling hive of activity within. Standing beside it is the Firestone Tyre Factory, another symbol of industrial prowess during this era. Its sturdy structure suggests strength and durability as it churned out tires for countless vehicles traversing Britain's roads.
The composition of this photograph captures not only these iconic factories but also provides a glimpse into their surroundings. The vast expanse surrounding them reveals other buildings and structures that were integral to Brentford's industrial landscape at that time.
As we immerse ourselves in this snapshot from history, we are transported back to an era when manufacturing was at its peak in Brentford. It serves as a reminder of how these factories played a vital role in shaping both local communities and national industries.
Preserved by Historic England's Aerofilms Collection, this print offers us an invaluable opportunity to reflect upon our industrial heritage while marveling at the architectural wonders that once defined Brentford's skyline.
