This print takes us back in time to the bustling construction site of a factory for Adhesive Tapes Ltd. The image, captured between 1950-1, showcases the remarkable progress made during this era in engineering and construction. In the foreground, we are greeted by a dumper truck adorned with John Laing livery, symbolizing the expertise and dedication of those involved in this ambitious project. The photograph offers a glimpse into an important chapter of industrial history as it documents the birth of a manufacturing facility that would go on to produce adhesive tapes. The sheer scale of the building under construction is awe-inspiring; its towering structure stands as a testament to human ingenuity and determination. As we examine this archival gem from Historic England's collection, our imagination runs wild with thoughts about the countless workers who labored tirelessly to bring this vision to life. Their sweat and perseverance are immortalized within these walls. This print not only serves as a visual record but also evokes nostalgia for an era when factories were at the forefront of economic growth and technological advancements. It reminds us that behind every successful company lies years of hard work, collaboration, and innovation. With each passing year since this photograph was taken, one can't help but wonder how many lives have been impacted by Adhesive Tapes Ltd's products or how many stories unfolded within these factory walls. This image truly encapsulates both historical significance and timeless beauty – an invaluable piece preserved by Historic England Archive for generations to come
