1945 Break Canteen Factory Lunch Lunchtime Runcorn Staff Tannery
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the mid-day break in the canteen of Highfield Tannery, Runcorn. It is a snapshot frozen in time from November 30th, 1945. The image showcases some of the hardworking employees enjoying their well-deserved lunchtime respite. The canteen buzzes with activity as workers gather around tables laden with food. Their faces reflect a mix of exhaustion and contentment, evidence of their dedication to their craft. Highfield Tannery, once solely dedicated to wartime production, has now transitioned into peace-time operations. This transformation is reflected not only in the capacity for dealing with approximately 10,000 hides per week but also in the number of individuals employed at the works - between 300 and 400 people. This photograph captures a moment that speaks volumes about camaraderie and unity within an industrial setting. Amidst clinking cutlery and animated conversations, bonds are formed over shared meals. These moments serve as reminders that even amidst bustling factories and demanding workloads, there exists a need for human connection. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history captured by an anonymous staff member at Memory Lane Prints, we cannot help but be drawn into its narrative - one where ordinary workers find solace and nourishment during their mid-day break within the walls of Highfield Tannery's canteen.
