EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the construction of a rotary kiln section at Steetley, Nottinghamshire in 1962. The image showcases the meticulous welding process undertaken to prepare for installation. In the center of the cylinder, we see a large ring known as the kiln tyre, which would eventually be supported by two massive rollers. It is important to note that this photograph only represents one section of the entire kiln, which would later be assembled through welding or riveting. The Steetley Co was constructing this impressive kiln for limestone processing purposes. This snapshot provides us with a glimpse into Britain's industrial landscape during the mid-20th century. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia and highlights the dedication and craftsmanship involved in such endeavors. A lone worker can be seen on a ladder near the kiln, emphasizing both his role as well as those who labored alongside him to bring this project to fruition. This image serves as a testament to their hard work and commitment within England's iron and steel industry. Photographed by Michael Walters from Paul Walters Worldwide Photography Ltd. , this historical documentation offers insight into not just one man's job but also an entire profession that shaped communities across Britain during this era.
