The Danish Bacon Company factory, Kilnhurst, South Yorkshire, 1957. This print captures the reception area of the iconic Danish Bacon Company factory in Kilnhurst during its heyday in 1957. The company's depot operated from this site for nearly half a century before relocating to larger premises. Established with a blend of English and Danish directors, the company flourished in the 1930s with an impressive annual turnover of £9 million. Situated strategically near Rotherham and conveniently close to the A1 highway and North Sea ports, Kilnhurst proved to be an ideal location for this thriving enterprise.

The image offers us a glimpse into an era when Britain's food industry was rapidly evolving, highlighting not only the significant role played by companies like The Danish Bacon Company but also capturing a snapshot of working life during that time period.
