A tidy exit from an unidentified factory in Edwardian Barrow in Furness.

This is one of the least crowded and best-behaved of Mitchell and Kenyon's 'factory gate' films (the space between people is striking). It was commissioned by the prolific Ralph Pringle. A bowler-hatted showman is visible to the right of the arch. The rather touching second shot of a lone, uniformed man (a decorated veteran?) is enigmatic now, though perhaps self-explanatory to local viewers then.

Male workers leaving a works entrance of Hematite Steel Company in Barrow. Walney Road, at the end of Duke Street was where the factory was located. This was identified by members of the public on seeing the film on the BFI player.
