This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the 1970s, a time when skilled workers fearlessly tackled great heights in pursuit of their duties. The image showcases a group of men, balancing precariously 100ft up the towering radio mast at Gaythorn Gas Works in Manchester on November 26th, 1970. The sheer magnitude of this industrial structure is awe-inspiring, emphasizing the immense scale of gas production during that era. These courageous individuals epitomize the unwavering dedication and bravery required to maintain such vital infrastructure. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, one cannot help but marvel at the incredible balance these men possess as they navigate their way through this vertigo-inducing task. Their silhouettes against the sky serve as a testament to human resilience and adaptability amidst challenging working conditions.
