Female ICI employees enjoy a dance, South Yorkshire, 1957. Artist: Michael Walters
Female ICI employees enjoy a dance, South Yorkshire, 1957. A couple of girls from the ICI Detonator factory in Denaby Main (near Doncaster) take a break from producing munitions to dance a jive whilst the other girls from the factory look on. The factory produced military detonators during the Second World War and once married, girls were only allowed to work on the detonator line for six months, due to the affects of the sulphur. The plant eventually closed in 1964.
