This photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of the 3rd International Road Congress Exhibition in London, held in June 1913. Among the various stalls showcasing the latest innovations and technologies in road construction, Brookes Ltd. of Halifax proudly displays their offerings of road building materials. The stall, adorned with the distinctive logo of Brookes Ltd., is a feast for the eyes, showcasing an array of materials that would have been essential for the construction and maintenance of roads during this era. The centerpiece of the display is a selection of European granite blocks, meticulously arranged to highlight their natural beauty and durability. These granite blocks were prized for their ability to withstand the rigors of heavy traffic and harsh weather conditions. Brookes Ltd. was not only a supplier of granite but also offered a range of other materials for road construction. Macadam, a type of crushed stone used as a road surface, is stacked high in one corner of the stall, while kerb stones, used to create curbs and gutters, are neatly arranged in rows. Building stone and dock work materials are also on display, reflecting the versatility of the company's offerings. Transport vehicles can be seen in the background, hinting at the industrial scale of the operation. This photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering examples of the materials and methods used in the road construction industry over a century ago. Brookes Ltd.'s presence at the exhibition underscores their reputation as a leading supplier of road building materials during this period.
