EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling scene at Spillers Foods Ltd in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, in 1962. The image showcases a fleet of Commer Lorries lined up outside the newly established mill. Standing proudly beside their vehicles are the drivers from J Bradshaw & Sons Hauliers, exuding a sense of pride and professionalism. The photograph captures an era when road transport played a vital role in Britain's industrial landscape. These hardworking men were responsible for transporting animal feed produced by Spillers Foods to various locations across the country. Loaded with bags of essential nutrition, these lorries served as lifelines for countless farms and livestock operations. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this snapshot of history, emphasizing the grit and determination etched on each driver's face. It is evident that they took great pride in their occupation, representing not only themselves but also their company with utmost dedication. As we gaze upon this image frozen in time, we are transported back to an era where manual labor was celebrated and relied upon for societal progress. This photo serves as a testament to the industrious spirit that defined mid-20th century England while honoring the unsung heroes who kept its wheels turning – like those depicted here at Spillers Foods Ltd on that fateful day in 1962.
