This print takes us back to the bustling Dewhirst Factory in Dormanstown on a chilly February day in 1978. The image captures the first stage of cutting out, where skilled workers meticulously handle an impressive stack of fabric layers. A staggering 240 layers, each measuring a whopping 30 meters long, are neatly arranged for production. The factory floor is a hive of activity as dedicated employees laboriously cut through the fabric using state-of-the-art machinery. This snapshot showcases the immense scale and precision required in clothing manufacturing during this era. The significance of this momentous task is not lost on us; it represents more than just cutting fabric. It symbolizes the dedication and craftsmanship that went into every garment produced at Dewhirst Factory. These hardworking individuals were instrumental in shaping Teesside's thriving textile industry. As we gaze upon this historical scene, we can't help but marvel at the sheer magnitude of human effort involved in creating quality clothing. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of an era when jobs like these played a vital role in local communities' economies.
