EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time at the Isle of Grain Power Station in Kent during the 1970s. The image showcases a group portrait of skilled Laing fitters, proudly posing in front of a site bus. With their strong and determined expressions, these hardworking individuals exude an air of camaraderie and professionalism. The power station's towering structures loom behind them, serving as a testament to the immense scale of this construction project. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into the world of teamwork and collaboration that was required to bring such an ambitious endeavor to life. Published in Laings' monthly newsletter, "Team Spirit" this photograph embodies the spirit of unity among these workers who dedicated themselves to building something monumental. It serves as a tribute not only to their individual skills but also to their collective effort towards achieving success. Transportation plays an essential role on any construction site, and here we see the trusty site bus standing by as both a means for commuting and perhaps even providing brief moments of respite for these industrious fitters. Preserved within Historic England's Archive, this image reminds us not only of our industrial heritage but also celebrates the unsung heroes who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes. Their commitment and dedication continue to inspire generations today.
