EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a heartwarming scene at the Steinberg and Sons Ltd factory in Hawthorn, Pontypridd. As their hardworking mothers toil away in the bustling textile industry, these children find solace and education at the factory nursery school. Established by the company with a noble intention of reducing employee absenteeism during school holidays, this nurturing environment allows both parents and children to thrive. In this particular moment frozen in time, a group of boys and girls attentively listen to a story being told by their dedicated teacher. The room is filled with excitement as young minds absorb knowledge while their nimble fingers work on needlework projects. The company's commitment to preventing absenteeism among mothers has led them to recruit trained supervisors who ensure that these 25 youngsters receive proper care and guidance. The year is 1969, an era when industries like textiles were flourishing in Wales. This image serves as a poignant reminder of how companies like Steinberg and Sons went beyond mere profit-making endeavors; they actively contributed to the well-being of their employees' families. It showcases not only the importance placed on education but also highlights gender equality as both boys and girls participate enthusiastically. Preserved by Morse from Memory Lane Prints, this photograph encapsulates an inspiring chapter from our industrial past—a testament to compassion, innovation, and community spirit that transcends generations.
