Seven black and white prints taken by Peter Hewitt, on behalf of Richard, Thomas & Baldwins Ltd, containing images of ‘Remploy’ workers making furniture and shoes. The prints were considered for use in the picture story “Remploy - Work for the Disabled” by Correlli Burnett, December 1958 issue, pp. 10-12, but they were not chosen for publication.
