EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Mr W Arrowsmith, the visionary founder of WJ Curley and Sons, amidst the bustling yard of his bone and tallow factory in Stratford, East London. Taken on 5th October 1937 by renowned photographer John Topham, this image transports us back to a significant era - the interwar period. In this snapshot from the 1930s, we witness Mr Arrowsmith overseeing operations with an air of determination as he stands beside a towering boiler. The scene is filled with activity; workmen diligently unload barrels from a Bedford lorry while others handle spades to manage waste disposal. The presence of these dedicated workers symbolizes both their commitment to their craft and their trust in Mr Arrowsmith's leadership. The monochrome composition adds depth and character to this historical moment frozen in time. It serves as a reminder that even during challenging times between two world wars, entrepreneurial spirits like Mr Arrowsmith were instrumental in driving progress within Europe's industrial landscape. As we gaze at this photograph, it becomes evident that behind every successful company lies an individual driven by passion and dedication. This image pays homage not only to Mr W Arrowsmith but also to all those who contributed tirelessly towards building WJ Curley and Sons into what it became - a testament to hard work, innovation, and unwavering ambition.
