EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage image transport us back in time to Crumpsall CWS Biscuit Factory in Manchester, England, as it appeared in 1908. The Cooperative Wholesale Society (CWS), a leading figure in the cooperative movement, operated this impressive industrial facility. The cooperative movement, which gained significant traction during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, aimed to provide high-quality goods at reasonable prices to its members through a collective buying system. The photograph showcases the grandeur and scale of the factory, with its red-brick facade adorned with intricate architectural details, tall chimneys reaching for the sky, and expansive grounds dotted with various buildings. Smoke billows from the factory's chimneys, a testament to the industriousness and productivity within. Workers in their traditional attire can be seen outside, possibly taking a break from their duties. The scene is reminiscent of the bustling energy that characterized the industrial era, with the clatter of machinery, the rhythmic sound of workers, and the aroma of freshly baked cakes wafting through the air. The image is part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offering a unique glimpse into Manchester's rich industrial history. This photograph not only serves as a visual representation of the past but also as a reminder of the significant role cooperatives played in shaping the economic landscape during this period.
