EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling scene at the Rolling Mill of Ibbotson Brothers and Company Limited in 1929. Located at the esteemed Globe Works on Penistone Road, Sheffield, this renowned company was a leading manufacturer of steel, saws, files, springs, bolts and nuts. Founded by William Ibbotson in 1809 on Bridge Street, the company quickly gained recognition for its exceptional craftsmanship. By 1825, it had found its permanent home at The Globe Works. In their prime years at Russell Street (later renamed Alma Street), which began in 1862, Ibbotson Brothers flourished as one of Sheffield's most prominent industrial establishments. Despite facing bankruptcy in 1846, William Ibbotson managed to resurrect his business and steer it towards success once again. However, by 1939 Jonas Woodhead and Sons Limited acquired the firm but retained its cherished name until 1971 when it merged with Woodhead Components Limited. This remarkable photograph not only showcases the impressive machinery within the rolling mill but also provides a glimpse into Sheffield's rich industrial history. Preserved meticulously by Sheffield City Archives under reference LD1145/3/2 (altrefno LD1155/6), this image serves as a testament to the ingenuity and resilience that defined companies like Ibbotson Brothers during their heyday.
