Shropshire Postcard: John Maddock & Co Ltd Factory Aerial View Oakengates 1948 - DD622.
The image captures a detailed 1948 aerial view of the John Maddock & Co. Ltd. foundry, once a major industrial landmark in Oakengates, Shropshire. This factory was a significant producer of malleable iron castings, supplying essential parts for the cycle and automotive trades as well as various hand tools. Historically, the site was known for its tough industrial atmosphere, earning the nickname "The Black Hole of Calcutta" among local workers before it eventually closed and was replaced by modern housing estates.
This is an unused standard size postcard. The publisher is Aerofilms and was manufactured in the United Kingdom.
Please also use the image magnifier to make your own assessment on the condition. Please ignore any lines caused by the scanner.
When possible all of our postcards will be posted to you inside a collectable plastic postcard sleeve and a board backed envelope which will be marked 'Please do not bend'.
Any 'Mo's Postcards' watermark does not appear on the actual postcard'.
