EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph takes us back in time to April 1946, offering a unique glimpse into the industrial landscape of Ibstock, Leicestershire. The image showcases the sprawling expanse of the Clutsom and Kemp Ltd Elastic Factory, an iconic structure that played a significant role in the region's manufacturing history. From this elevated perspective, we witness the sheer magnitude of this bustling factory complex. Rows upon rows of buildings stretch out before us, their chimneys billowing smoke into the sky. The intricate network of railway tracks crisscrossing through the site hints at its importance as a hub for transportation and distribution. The architectural details are fascinating to behold - large windows dotting each building allow natural light to flood in, while sturdy brick walls stand as testaments to enduring craftsmanship. It is evident that every inch of space has been meticulously utilized within this elastic production powerhouse. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from yesteryear, it sparks our curiosity about what life was like inside those walls. What stories unfolded within these corridors? What innovative processes were employed here? This photograph serves as a reminder not only of past industry but also of countless individuals who dedicated themselves to making this factory thrive. Preserved by Historic England Archive and captured by Aerofilms Ltd. , this print stands as a testament to our collective heritage - an invaluable piece documenting an era when factories like these formed vital pillars supporting local economies across Britain.
