EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the industrial history of Ipswich, circa 1968. The image showcases the delivery of machinery to a new factory in the bustling town, with a Pickfords low-loader articulated lorry playing a crucial role in transporting the heavy equipment. The scene is filled with activity and anticipation as workers carefully unload the machinery from the lorry, ready to be installed and put into operation at the new factory. The sheer size and weight of the machinery being delivered is evident, highlighting the scale of this important milestone for both the company and the local community. The black and white tones of the photograph add a timeless quality to this snapshot from decades past. It serves as a reminder of an era when manufacturing played a vital role in driving economic growth and creating jobs in towns like Ipswich. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when hard work and dedication were essential ingredients for success in industry. The Peter Butt Aviation Collection has preserved this piece of history for future generations to appreciate and learn from, reminding us of our rich industrial heritage.
