EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the 1930s, the W D & H O Wills cigarette factory in Swindon, Wiltshire, stands proudly against the backdrop of a bustling railway scene. The factory, a significant industrial landmark of the era, is identified by the distinctive Kinnear rolling metal shutter at its entrance. The shutter, a testament to the advanced security measures of the time, is a prominent feature of the building's design. The railway tracks that run alongside the factory are a reminder of the important role transport played in the distribution of goods during this period. An engine, complete with steam billowing from its stack, is stationed in the railway siding, ready to transport goods to their next destination. However, not all is smooth running at the factory. In the top left corner of the image, a water tank, which had recently burst during a sprinkler test, is visible. The surrounding area is flooded, and a ladder leans against the tank, suggesting that repairs are underway. The factory buildings, with their red-brick facades and industrial metal structures, are a testament to the era's industrial prowess. The use of metal in the shutters, water tank, and railway tracks highlights the importance of this versatile material in the manufacturing processes of the time. The W D & H O Wills cigarette factory in Swindon was a significant contributor to the town's industrial landscape during the 1930s. This photograph captures a moment in time, showcasing the interplay of industry, transport, and the everyday challenges of maintaining a large-scale manufacturing operation.
