Swindon Works Canteen Staff, 1986
Six members of Canteen Staff at Swindon Works are in this photograph taken in March 1986. By this date the closure of the Works was underway and many staff had left, leaving just a skeleton group remaining to oversee the closure. This small team of canteen staff stayed on to provide meals for those still on the site. Despite the despondency these women must have felt at the Works closing around them and their own imminent redundancy, they still managed to smile cheerfully for the camera.
