One photograph titled '"Mountain of sweetness" Sugar beet factory faces record year'. Caption on the back reads: 'Thousands of harvest sugar beets lie in a huge pile after being unloaded from lorries at the British Sugar Corporation’s Ipswich factory, Suffolk. The beet will be washed, graded, pulped and the syrup extracted to form the white granulated sugar of the British breakfast table. This year has been something of a record year for the beet harvest and by January something like 5,000,000 tons will have been lifted. (Average yield for East Anglia is 12 tons an acre)'.
