EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fleet of soft drinks delivery lorries lined up on an avenue in Mexborough, South Yorkshire in 1961. Standing proudly at the front is the newest addition to the fleet, a sleek Bedford TK lorry. These vehicles belonged to Holmess Pop factory, a renowned company that thrived for many years until tragedy struck with the death of Mr Holmes. Following his passing, his wife decided to seek a fresh start in Australia. The image showcases not only the impressive line-up of lorries but also the dedicated delivery men who stand beside them. Clad in their work attire, these men were responsible for ensuring that refreshing beverages reached customers across the country. The photograph exudes an industrial atmosphere as it captures this moment outside one of Mexborough's buildings. Taken by Michael Walters and preserved by Paul Walters Worldwide Photography Ltd. , this monochrome snapshot offers us a glimpse into England's transport industry during the 1960s. It reflects both British ingenuity and hardworking individuals who played vital roles within this sector. As we observe this historic scene frozen in time, let us appreciate how transportation has evolved over decades while acknowledging those unsung heroes who kept our favorite drinks flowing through their dedication and commitment to their profession.
