Jam production in Maidenhead, Berkshire, England.
Britains Jam for civilians and troops is an all the year round occupation. Thousands upon thousands of tons of jam are made every year at a Maidenhead Jam Factory. Girls are the main employee, and most of the work is done by machinery. Jam is boiled by the hundred weights, and sold in jays of only a pound, not touched by hand.
Picture shows the jam is pumped from the container and enters the jars all by machinery.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling jam production in Maidenhead, Berkshire, England during the 1940s. In the midst of World War II, Britains Jam Factory became a vital hub for producing this beloved spread not only for civilians but also for troops on the frontlines. The year-round occupation saw countless tons of jam being meticulously crafted within these factory walls. The image showcases an army of dedicated female workers who formed the backbone of this operation. With machinery as their trusted ally, they skillfully boiled vast quantities of fruit and sugar by the hundred weights. The resulting delectable concoction was then carefully pumped from large containers into jars with remarkable precision - not a single touch by hand. It is fascinating to witness how technology played a pivotal role in streamlining this process and ensuring efficiency at every step. This snapshot freezes a moment when jam gracefully flows through pipes, effortlessly entering each jar like clockwork. Taken on November 3rd, 1943, this photograph offers us a glimpse into an era where food production took center stage amidst global turmoil. It serves as a testament to human resilience and ingenuity during challenging times while highlighting the significant contributions made by women in supporting their country's war efforts. Memory Lane Prints presents us with yet another historical gem that reminds us of our collective past and celebrates those unsung heroes who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to provide comfort and sustenance during uncertain times.
