EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a lively scene at Dixon House in Fenchurch Street, City of London during the 1970s. The image showcases a woman behind a serving hatch, joyfully pouring pints of beer for a group of men. It is evident that this momentous occasion is none other than the Thank You party organized by Laings London Region to express gratitude towards their hardworking staff involved in rebuilding the interior of Dixon House. The atmosphere exudes pure camaraderie and celebration as colleagues gather around the canteen, raising their glasses filled with frothy beer. The barmaid's infectious smile reflects her dedication to ensuring everyone has an enjoyable time. Behind her stands an old-fashioned beer pump, ready to dispense more drinks and keep spirits high throughout the festivities. This photograph not only captures a delightful social gathering but also serves as a testament to Laing spirit – fostering unity and appreciation within its workforce. As we delve into this nostalgic snapshot from history, it reminds us of simpler times when people could come together over shared experiences and revel in each other's company. Thanks to A© Historic England Archive for preserving this precious memory that encapsulates both the essence of community and the importance of acknowledging hard work.
