Patons and Baldwins Knitting Factory, Lingfield Close, Darlington, 1947 - 1949. Rows of spinning machinery in the spinning shed at Patons and Baldwins knitting factory. This is a copy negative that appears to have been made by Laing on 28th October 1955. The image was published in the March 1949 issue of Laing's monthly newsletter, Team Spirit. At the time of publication, two thirds of the work at the site had been completed and a small portion of the factory had already been in use for over a year.
