EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the monumental construction of Berkeley Nuclear Power Station in Gloucestershire during the 1950s. The image showcases a fleet of 43 RB excavators and 15-ton dump trucks diligently carrying out excavation work for the reactor. These powerful machines, seen against the backdrop of Berkeley Power Station, symbolize human ingenuity and technological progress. The Breaking New Ground Project, in collaboration with the John Laing Charitable Trust in 2019-20, catalogued this remarkable photograph as part of their mission to preserve and celebrate England's rich history. It serves as a testament to the significant role nuclear power played in shaping our energy landscape. The sheer scale of this construction project is awe-inspiring; it highlights both the ambition and determination required to bring such an undertaking to fruition. As we gaze upon these mighty excavators and dump trucks working tirelessly on-site, we are reminded of the countless hours spent by skilled workers who dedicated themselves to building a brighter future through clean energy. This image from Historic England Archive not only provides us with a glimpse into our past but also prompts us to reflect on how far we have come since then. It stands as a tribute to those who contributed their expertise and labor towards creating one of Britain's pioneering nuclear power stations – an enduring symbol of progress that continues to generate electricity today.
