Men of Iron: Poole’s last foundry captured by 1980s art students

Mr Orino, who has since photographed celebrities including Usain Bolt and Michael Palin, said: “The pictures were coming out every week and we were printing them like crazy and they were doing so well and getting a lot of attention.

“We were showing them to the workers and they were really pleased with them.

“[Then] it started to get fairly political.

“There was a change, that we were not photographing them just working any more, we were photographing them finishing their work at the foundry.”

Photographer Diana Grandi recalled she had “jumped right in” to the “amazing, beautiful project”.

She said: “It had to do with a human connection, it had to do with history, it had to do with a sense of place and those three things really triggered my interest, hugely.”
