EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of Gainsborough, Lincolnshire. Taken in 1960, it showcases a Thames Trader lorry from Teesdales in Louth parked proudly in front of the newly constructed Spillers Animal Food mill. The introduction of the Trader by Ford just three years prior had revolutionized road transport with its versatile range of 4,5, and 7-tonne versions. The image depicts an important occasion as members of the board personally greet the driver to hand over paperwork for the first merchant load to be collected from the new mill on December 14th. The sense of pride and anticipation is palpable as this milestone event unfolds. The photograph not only highlights industrial progress but also provides a glimpse into daily life during this era. It portrays a hardworking man fulfilling his occupation as a lorry driver while capturing elements of British countryside and architecture that define England's charm. Preserved through time by Paul Walters Worldwide Photography Ltd. , this monochrome image transports us back to an era when transportation played a vital role in shaping communities and economies. It serves as a testament to both technological advancements and human perseverance that continue to drive progress today.
