About MeThe men in this image are all working at granite turning and polishing lathes, creating vases, urns or small columns.

The man on the right is turning an urn, probably for the top of a memorial. Just visible under his lathe is a maker's inscription for John M Henderson, the Aberdeen engineering firm.

The Henderson premises were right next door to Garden & Co, on King Street Place. John M. Henderson's workshops produced rock drills, stone turning lathes, stone cutting saws, cableways, stone polishing machinery and derrick cranes used in many of the north east's granite quarries and yards.
