EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the fleet of Bedford delivery lorries at the Danish Bacon Co, Kilnhurst, South Yorkshire in 1957. The Danish Bacon Company strategically chose this location due to its central position near Rotherham and close proximity to the A1 and North Sea ports. This made Kilnhurst an ideal base for their operations in the food industry. Commissioned by Michelin Tyre company, who supplied tyres for these vehicles at that time, this image showcases a snapshot of British industrial history during the mid-20th century. The monochrome tones add a timeless quality to the scene, emphasizing the significance of these trucks as they transport goods across the country. The photograph highlights not only the impressive fleet but also provides a glimpse into England's manufacturing landscape during this decade.
