EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage image transports us back in time to the Crumpsall CWS Biscuit Factory in Manchester, England, in the year 1908. The Cooperative Wholesale Society (CWS), a prominent figure in the Co-operative Movement during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, operated this impressive industrial establishment. The factory, known for its production of biscuits and cakes, was a significant contributor to the region's thriving industry. Every morning, the factory's dedicated workforce would gather for a collective exercise session, as depicted in this photograph. The scene reveals a sea of employees, both men and women, standing in neat rows, ready to embark on another day of labor. The air is filled with anticipation and camaraderie, as they prepare to synchronize their movements under the watchful eye of their instructor. The factory's imposing red-brick facade, adorned with intricate architectural details, looms in the background. Smoke billows from the chimneys, a testament to the factory's relentless production. The scene is further enriched by the presence of a lantern slide projector, suggesting that this photograph was once used for educational or entertainment purposes. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the daily life of a bustling industrial community during the early 20th century. The image is part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, a treasure trove of historical photographs that document the social, cultural, and industrial evolution of Manchester and beyond.
