EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the industrial landscape of ICI, Billingham in the 1970s. The image showcases the agricultural division HQ block standing proudly in the left foreground, while in the background, we catch a glimpse of the meandering Tee River. It was taken on April 26th, 1977. The photograph encapsulates an era when British industry and manufacturing were at their peak. ICI, short for Imperial Chemical Industries, played a significant role in shaping this period as one of Britain's leading chemical companies. However, it is important to note that this caption does not mention any commercial use. The scene also highlights some environmental concerns associated with heavy industry during that time. Cooling towers rise majestically into the sky behind the agricultural division HQ block—a symbol of power and progress but also a reminder of pollution challenges faced by communities like Billingham and Stockton-on-Tees. Located in County Durham within North East England's Teesside region, these towns were deeply intertwined with industrial activities. This photo serves as a testament to their shared history and provides viewers with a window into an era defined by both triumphs and challenges. Overall, this evocative image captures not only physical structures but also memories—reminding us of an influential company's presence amidst its surroundings while inviting contemplation about our relationship with industry and its impact on local environments.
