EDITORS COMMENTS
In this aerial photograph, the Timpsons Shoe Factory in Kettering, Northamptonshire, stands proudly against the backdrop of lush green fields and winding roads. Dated back to June 1937, this modern-looking factory was a significant contributor to Kettering's thriving footwear industry. Kettering, along with several Northamptonshire towns, was renowned for its expertise in shoemaking. The town's rich heritage in footwear manufacture can be traced back to the 17th century, with the industry reaching its peak in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This photograph showcases the advanced nature of the industry during this period, with the Timpsons Factory being a prime example. The factory's clean, symmetrical layout and expansive size suggest the implementation of efficient production methods. The rows of buildings, connected by covered walkways, appear to house various stages of the shoemaking process. The presence of large open areas, possibly used for drying or storage, further emphasizes the scale of operations. The surrounding landscape, dotted with small farms and winding roads, provides a stark contrast to the industrial hub that lies within the factory walls. The image offers a unique perspective, allowing us to appreciate the harmonious coexistence of rural and industrial landscapes in this era. This photograph, taken by Aerofilms in June 1937, offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the importance of the footwear industry in Kettering and Northamptonshire. It also highlights the significant advancements made in factory design and production methods during the interwar period.
