EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the year 1972 when Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh paid a visit to Manchester. The Duke's presence is truly remarkable as he engages in conversation with Barbadian worker Olaf Seal at British Vita's latex plant in Middleton. The image beautifully captures the essence of industry and business during the 1970s, showcasing the dedication and hard work that went into creating products like latex. Olaf Seal stands tall amidst his workplace, where temperatures soar up to a scorching 80F. His resilience and commitment shine through as he shares a moment with royalty. To the left of this powerful duo stands company Chairman Norman Grimshaw, observing their interaction with pride. It is evident that this visit holds great significance for both British Vita and its employees. This photograph not only highlights an important royal visit but also symbolizes unity between different cultures and backgrounds within the workforce. It serves as a reminder that regardless of our social status or origins, we all contribute towards building successful industries and economies.
