In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 26th of October in 1962. The image captures a momentous occasion as Queen Elizabeth II and the Mayor of Newport stand side by side, gazing across Newport Docks at the majestic Llanwern steelworks. The scene is steeped in history and significance, representing the industrial prowess of Wales during the mid-20th century. The towering steelworks symbolize a thriving era of progress and innovation that propelled Newport into an industrial powerhouse. As we observe Her Majesty and the esteemed mayor taking in this panoramic view, one can only imagine their awe at witnessing such grandeur firsthand. Their presence adds a touch of regality to an already impressive landscape. The photograph serves as a reminder of the close relationship between royalty and industry during this time period. It showcases Queen Elizabeth II's commitment to engaging with her subjects on all levels, including those working tirelessly within Wales' booming steel industry.
