EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time at the Walls Ice Cream Factory in Gloucester, Gloucestershire. The image showcases workers diligently operating machinery on the first floor of the Production Block, with metal containers gracefully gliding along a conveyor belt in the foreground. The Walls Ice Cream Factory was an ambitious project that commenced in February 1959 and spanned across a vast 30-acre site at Barnwood. With a staggering budget of £2 million, this state-of-the-art facility boasted various buildings including workshops, offices, a canteen, boiler house, cold store, water tower, and engineers shop. Transporting us back to the swinging 1960s era, this photograph exudes nostalgia for those golden summers filled with delectable frozen treats. It offers us a glimpse into the meticulous process of food production within this remarkable food processing plant. As we admire this snapshot from history captured by A© Historic England Archive, it is important to note that it does not represent any specific company or commercial use. Instead, it serves as an invaluable documentation of our industrial past and reminds us of the dedication and craftsmanship involved in creating beloved culinary delights like ice cream.
