EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling Scotswood works of Messers Sir W. G Armstrong, Whitworth and Co (Engineers) Ltd in September 1936. The image captures a pivotal moment in the daily routine of this thriving engineering factory. At precisely 12 o'clock, the loud buzzer sounds, signaling lunchtime and prompting a rush of workers towards their well-deserved meal break. The main machine shop bay is depicted in all its glory, showcasing an impressive quantity of locomotive parts being skillfully handled by diligent workers. The assembly process for an Armstrong-Sulzer Diesel railroad engine is also captured, highlighting the intricate craftsmanship involved in creating these powerful machines that would revolutionize transportation. Adjacent to this scene stands a Steam Giant ready for testing - a magnificent sight symbolizing both progress and innovation within the industry. Lastly, we catch a glimpse of the cylinder bay within the locomotive works, offering just a taste of the vast scale at which manufacturing took place here. This photograph not only provides us with a visual window into Newcastle's rich industrial history but also serves as a tribute to hardworking individuals who dedicated themselves to their craft during this era. It encapsulates an era when factories like these were hubs of employment and engines like those produced here powered Britain's growth and development.
