EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to the Glaxo Pharmaceutical Works in Ware, East Hertfordshire. Amidst the bustling construction works at the site, two Laing workers take a well-deserved tea break. The image captures a moment of respite amidst the chaos of building activity. The workers sit on a makeshift bench, their tired bodies finding solace in the simple pleasure of sipping hot tea from their trusty thermos flasks. Their worn-out overalls and rugged boots tell tales of hard work and dedication. This photograph is not just about construction or people at work; it represents an era when progress was being made at Glaxo's extensive site. Laing played a crucial role in this development by constructing new buildings such as research facilities, gatehouses, and service blocks between 1985 and 1987. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at the transformation that took place on these grounds over several years. This £7.5 million contract marked Phase IV of construction at Glaxo's Ware site - one among many structures added later. Thanks to A© Historic England Archive for preserving this remarkable piece of history that reminds us of both human resilience and industrial advancement during those transformative years.
