Early 1917 Photo Found in the Archives at Plucks Engineering

Plucks Engineering has unearthed a remarkable photograph from its archives, capturing a truly fantastic moment from a bygone era. This image showcases the original workshop of Plucks, a company with a rich history dating back to 1966. The photograph, taken in the year 1917, features a group of individuals who played significant roles in the early days of the company: Bill Lee, Tod Penney, Joe England, and (?) Macdonald, among others. (see the YouTube video)

In this reminiscent scene, we see the craftsmanship and dedication that characterised the workshop of the time. The men are engaged in a practical task, presumably involving the care and maintenance of a horse, which highlights the agricultural and mechanical roots of the industry. The presence of the horse and the tools of the trade offer a glimpse into the daily operations that were vital to the community and economy of that era.

Surrounding the workshop, one can also spot hints of the past, from the rustic fencing to the vintage bicycle parked in the foreground, suggesting a simpler, yet industrious lifestyle. The image serves not only as a historical record but also as a testament to the enduring spirit of innovation and hard work that continues to define Plucks Engineering to this day.

This snapshot from 1917 is not merely a moment frozen in time; it encapsulates the essence of dedication, craftsmanship, and community that still resonates within the heart of Plucks Engineering.
