Manufacture of anti-submarine nets at Lennox Motor Co Garage, Grove Road South, Southsea.

Inside the garage of the Lennox Motor Company in Grove Road South, Southsea, showing 12 completed anti-submarine nets rolled up and piled in a heap on the floor. Hammered into the floor on the right are steel rods, round which the net wire is looped to ensure each mesh is the same size. A sign in the background points the way to or for the women workers. A poster with a picture of a steel helmet advises "Keep it under your hat".
