1. Title: "A Time Capsule of Industry: The Entrance to Pilkington Ltd's Loading Dock in North London, circa 1930s" This evocative black-and-white photograph transports us back in time to the bustling industrial heart of North London during the 1930s. The image captures the entrance to the Pilkington Ltd's loading dock, specifically located on Shepherdess Walk. The scene is dominated by the imposing brickwork of the building, its aged, textured surface bearing the marks of time and the elements. The arched entrance, with its intricate brickwork and ornate arch, serves as a grand welcome to the premises. The loading dock itself is fitted with a single Kinnear rolling metal shutter, a testament to the advanced technology of the era that ensured efficient and secure loading and unloading operations. The shutter, manufactured by Gibson, is a marvel of engineering, its smooth, rolling mechanism a sight to behold. The Pilkington Brothers Limited, a renowned name in the glass industry, would have used this dock for the transportation of raw materials and finished products. The image offers a glimpse into the daily workings of the company, with carts and trucks lining up to load and unload their cargo. The photograph is a captivating reminder of the rich industrial heritage of North London, showcasing the blend of architectural design and practical functionality that characterized the buildings of the time. The image invites us to reflect on the past, as we marvel at the enduring legacy of the Pilkington Brothers Limited and the role it played in the industrial landscape of the 1930s.
