Construction workers enjoy a pint, Manchester, 1968 Tom Jenkins Martin RowsonWorkers celebrate with a well earned pint after laying the final beam during the construction of the new St Marys hospital in Manchester.

Tom Stuttard was one of the Guardians first staff photographers, and worked for the paper for 46 years (1925 1971).
