EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-coloured illustration transports us back in time to the vibrant and bustling CWS Crumpsall Biscuit Factory in Manchester during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The intricate details of the illustration reveal a scene of industry and innovation, as workers toil inside the imposing red-brick building, while horse-drawn carts and a lantern-lit carriage wait outside. The Cooperative Wholesale Society (CWS), a pioneering consumer cooperative, established the Crumpsall Biscuit Works in 1891, marking a significant expansion of their food production capabilities. The factory was a testament to the society's commitment to providing high-quality, affordable goods to its members. The illustration showcases the factory's impressive scale and advanced technology for the time, with tall chimneys belching smoke into the sky, and large machinery visible through the windows. The workers, dressed in their uniforms, appear focused and determined as they carry out their tasks, contributing to the production of the beloved biscuits that were distributed throughout the UK and beyond. This hand-coloured illustration offers a rare glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily life and industry of Manchester during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The vintage charm and rich history of the CWS Crumpsall Biscuit Factory continue to intrigue and inspire, making this an essential addition to any collection of historical or industrial imagery.
