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.

These remarkable ladies managed to find solace in each other's company and maintained an air of cheerfulness even as their own redundancy loomed large. This photograph serves as a testament to not only their dedication but also their ability to find joy amidst adversity. Their camaraderie is palpable through the lens, reminding us all of the power of human connection during challenging times.
