EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a construction worker takes a well-deserved break amidst the hustle and bustle of a building site in Eccles, Manchester during the 1970s. The man, dressed in a grubby jacket and wearing goggles around his neck, leans against a stack of bags of Ribble Cement, his weary expression reflecting the physical demands of his labor-intensive work. The dusty bags and piles of debris in the background add to the sense of industry and hard work that permeates the scene. The photograph, taken circa 1977, captures a moment of respite in the midst of a busy construction project. The man's relaxed posture and closed eyes suggest that he is momentarily escaping the noise, heat, and hardship of his work. The image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when manual labor was a way of life for many men in the construction industry. The photograph also showcases the equipment and machinery commonly used during the 1970s, including the pile of cement bags and the stack of bricks in the foreground. The image is a poignant reminder of the physical demands and challenges of construction work, as well as the importance of taking breaks to rest and recharge. Overall, this photograph is a fascinating historical record of a bygone era in construction history.
