EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Sheffield City Archives takes us back to the year 1959, capturing a significant moment in the industrial history of Sheffield. The image showcases the Firth-Vickers Stainless Steel plant located on Shepcote Lane, where an impressive transformation took place just a year prior. In 1958, the Hot-Mill at Shepcote Lane Rolling Mills Limited underwent a remarkable conversion that forever changed its operations. This photograph offers a glimpse into this revolutionary change by focusing on the newly installed Steckel furnaces positioned on either side of the Hot Finishing Mill. These state-of-the-art furnaces played a crucial role in enhancing efficiency and productivity within the steel production process. The black and white composition beautifully captures both the grandeur and intricacy of this industrial setting. The sheer size of these towering furnaces is awe-inspiring, while their intricate design hints at advanced engineering techniques employed during that era. Preserved as part of Sheffield Libraries' collection, this original print serves as a testament to Sheffield's rich manufacturing heritage.
