EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous occasion at the Glaxo Pharmaceutical Works in Ware, East Hertfordshire. The image showcases project managers and a large group of dedicated workers donning hard hats, all gathered on the roof of the newly constructed research building for a topping out celebration. With pints of beer in hand, they proudly pose against the backdrop of their remarkable achievement. The new research building, gatehouse, and services block were expertly built by Laing between 1985 and 1987 as part of Phase IV construction at the Glaxo site. This monumental £7.5 million contract marked an important milestone in expanding this extensive facility. Over subsequent years, multiple buildings would be added to further enhance its capabilities. In this snapshot from the 1980s, we witness not only a significant moment for Glaxo but also a testament to teamwork and dedication. The camaraderie among these individuals is evident as they come together to celebrate their collective achievements atop this impressive structure. Preserved within Historic England's Archive collection, this photograph serves as a reminder of past accomplishments while honoring those who contributed to shaping our pharmaceutical landscape. It stands as an enduring symbol of progress and innovation that continues to drive advancements in medicine today.
