EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "On the beach JLP01_08_021246a" captures a moment of pure joy and relaxation. The image showcases Hilda Laing, amidst a Laing staff trip to Llandudno in Conwy, Wales during the 1950s. In 1947, after a hiatus of seven years, Laing revived their Area Outings for staff and their families. These outings became an annual tradition, eagerly anticipated by all. In 1954 alone, there were seven planned trips over five weeks in May and June. The photograph exudes the essence of seaside bliss as Hilda basks in the sun-drenched sands with her fellow colleagues and loved ones from North Wales and North West England. Their smiles are infectious as they revel in each other's company against the backdrop of crashing waves. It is evident that this outing was not just about leisure but also about fostering camaraderie among employees outside the workplace walls. The spirit of Laing shines through as these individuals embrace life's simple pleasures together. Preserved within this timeless snapshot lies a testament to the importance placed on work-life balance even back then. This photo serves as a reminder that moments like these are essential for rejuvenation and building lasting connections beyond professional realms. A true treasure from Historic England Archive capturing an era when companies valued their employees' well-being both inside and outside office hours - an invaluable insight into our past worth cherishing today.
