In this photo print, we are transported back to the bustling Personally Beauty Products factory in Ashby during the 1950s. The image showcases a pivotal moment in soap production as four individuals gather around a moulding machine, eagerly checking the warm soap as it emerges from the process. From left to right, we see Mrs Pauline Lonsdale and Mrs Shiela Wright, who undoubtedly possess an extensive knowledge of their craft. Their watchful eyes ensure that each bar of soap is perfectly formed into distinctive shapes before being sent out into the world. Standing alongside them are two key figures instrumental in driving this thriving industry forward. Mr E T Easling, with his air of authority as works manager, oversees every aspect of production with meticulous attention to detail. And next to him stands Mr D C Townsend, managing director extraordinaire whose visionary leadership has propelled Personally Beauty Products to new heights. This snapshot not only captures a significant moment in time but also highlights Ashby's rich history as a hub for traditional industries like soap-making. The centuries-old mill serves as a testament to the town's enduring legacy and its commitment to craftsmanship. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at the intricate machinery surrounding these dedicated workers. It reminds us that behind every bar of soap lies countless hours of hard work and expertise - an art form passed down through generations.
