A stunning exhibition of photographs demonstrating a proudly modern vision of Britain at work in the 1950s and 1960s. Visiting British factories to create his carefully crafted, beautifully lit images of industries such as nylon, insulation and shipbuilding, Broomfield's works present a glamorous and essentially humanistic view of workers and work in British industry during this period. This exhibition includes black and white and colour photographs.
