EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1936, we are transported back in time to the Dunlop Works in Birmingham, Midlands, England. A group of young girls can be seen diligently covering the black cases of tennis balls with delicate felt. Their focused expressions and meticulous handiwork highlight their dedication as workers in this renowned factory. The image captures a moment frozen in history when the Dunlop Works was at its peak as a manufacturer of rubber products. Tennis balls were an essential part of their production line, and these skilled girls played a crucial role in ensuring that each ball was perfectly covered for optimal performance on the court. As we observe them carefully attaching the felt using hair grips, it is evident that they took great pride in their craft. The atmosphere within the factory must have been bustling with activity and camaraderie among fellow workers. This photograph not only showcases the industrious spirit of these young women but also provides us with a glimpse into life during the 1930s. It serves as a reminder of how far technology and manufacturing processes have evolved since then. Thanks to Memory Lane Prints' preservation efforts, we can now appreciate this remarkable piece of history captured through their lens. This print allows us to reflect upon the dedication and skill exhibited by these hardworking individuals who contributed to both sport and industry during one significant era - truly an invaluable snapshot from our past.
