Description

In 1947, after a seven year break, Laing had resurrected their 'Area Outings' for staff and their families, with trips taking place in May and June. Eight outings were arranged to take place in May and June 1955, the first two of which took place on 14th May, to Weston-Super-Mare and to Bognor Regis. This outing was for employees from South Wales and the South-West Midlands.

This image was catalogued as part of the Breaking New Ground Project in partnership with the John Laing Charitable Trust in 2019-20.
