Unusually, the buildings are the dominant feature in this 'factory gate' film; the workers are relegated to the bottom half of the frame. Vickers, a major name in British engineering, was then one of the largest manufacturers on the globe, specialising in transport materials and munitions. Mitchell and Kenyon's camera also visited the same company's Barrow shipbuilding works.

Note: It is a wet day, some men carry opened umbrellas and many wear coats. There are fewer boys than is usual in the `factory gate' films and less acknowledgment of camera.

Vickers Ltd was one of the largest manufacturing companies in the world established by Thomas Edward Vickers and specialised in ships, guns, railways and engineering products.
