EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of Coryton Oil Refinery. Taken during the site preparation work in June 1952, it showcases the demolition and clearance process at the derelict boiler house. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the towering chimney stack, which stands tall against a backdrop of industrial machinery. The sheer scale of this demolition project is awe-inspiring, as workers can be seen meticulously dismantling the chimney brick by brick. Their determination and expertise are evident in their every move, symbolizing both progress and transformation within the engineering industry. Published in Laings monthly newsletter, Team Spirit, this photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and innovation during an era defined by rapid industrialization. It offers us a glimpse into a time when Britain's manufacturing prowess was at its peak. As we gaze upon this snapshot from yesteryears, we are reminded not only of how far we have come but also of our responsibility to preserve our industrial heritage. This image encapsulates not just an architectural feat but also represents an important chapter in British history – one that shaped communities and fueled economic growth. With its striking composition and historical significance, this print serves as a poignant reminder that progress often comes hand-in-hand with change – sometimes through demolitions like these chimneys – leaving behind traces for future generations to reflect upon.
