"Capturing the Timber Yard: A Glimpse into the Workforce of Bolton upon Dearne, South Yorkshire in 1960" Step back in time to 1960 and immerse yourself in the bustling timber yard workforce of Bolton upon Dearne, South Yorkshire. Renowned artist Michael Walters beautifully captures this era through his evocative artwork. Traveling across continents, we find ourselves witnessing history unfold at various timber yards. In Greensboro, Georgia during 1941, photographer Jack Delano takes us on a visual journey as he documents the construction process of the A500. The Greensboro Lumber Co. , with its sawmill humming with activity, showcases the dedication and hard work put forth by its employees. Dorothea Lange's lens transports us to different corners of America during this period. From Malone, Grays Harbor County in Washington to Keno, Klamath County in Oregon and Boundary County in Idaho - her photographs capture both thriving mills and those that have recently closed their doors. In Mission Creek and Sandpoint within Bonner County, Idaho lies evidence of small privately owned mills that once thrived but now stand abandoned or discontinued. These images serve as a reminder of an industry that has shaped communities for generations. As we explore these snapshots frozen in time, we are reminded of the immense impact timber yards had on local economies worldwide. They were not just places where logs were processed; they represented livelihoods and legacies passed down from one generation to another. Join us on this captivating journey through history as we delve into the world of timber yards - where labor met craftsmanship amidst towering stacks of lumber waiting to be transformed into something extraordinary.
