EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1st August 1966 takes us back to the bustling bag factory in Davies Street, Adamsdown, a vibrant inner city area in Cardiff, Wales. The image captures a poignant moment as women diligently work on sewing machines amidst the rhythmic hum of machinery. Little did they know that their beloved workplace was soon to face an unfortunate fate. The factory, which has been an integral part of this close-knit community for years, is now set to close its doors forever. A compulsory purchase order submitted by the council has sealed its destiny - demolition awaits. This snapshot freezes time just before this imminent change occurs. In this scene filled with activity and purpose, we witness skilled Welsh women skillfully crafting sacks and bags with precision and expertise. Their dedication is palpable as they navigate through piles of fabric and threads while creating products that have likely traveled far beyond these walls. As we reflect upon this photograph from the 1960s, it serves as a reminder of the industrious spirit that once thrived within these walls. It also highlights the impact such closures can have on both individuals and communities alike; livelihoods disrupted and traditions lost. Knight's lens beautifully encapsulates not only a moment in history but also tells a story of hardworking women who contributed to their local economy through their craftsmanship. This image invites us into their world - one where determination meets creativity amidst the backdrop of industrial Wales during its heyday.
