EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of London County Council apprentice bricklayers in the 1930s, immersed in their trade as they learn the art of bricklaying. The image offers a glimpse into the world of manual labor and industry during this era, providing a window into the past and the dedication required to master a skilled craft. The young apprentices, dressed in their work clothes and wearing protective caps, are focused intently on their task. They are building a wall, each one meticulously placing bricks and mortar, under the watchful eye of their instructor. The bricklaying school, run by the London County Council, was an essential part of the training program for young people seeking to enter the building industry. The conditions depicted in the photograph reflect the reality of the time, with the brickyard providing a raw and unforgiving environment. The apprentices work in the cold, damp conditions, surrounded by piles of bricks and bags of mortar. Despite the challenging circumstances, their determination and focus are evident, as they learn the skills that would serve them well in their future careers. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the importance of apprenticeships and the value of hands-on learning. It also highlights the resilience and dedication of the young people who chose to pursue a career in bricklaying during the 1930s, a time when the building industry was a vital part of the economy. The image stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of the building trade and the importance of passing down skills from one generation to the next.
