This print captures a significant moment in the industrial history of Sheffield, South Yorkshire. Taken in 1964, it showcases the newly installed Tilghman electric arc furnace at Keyser Ellison steelworks. The rear view of this impressive machine gives us a glimpse into the heart of the iron and steel industry that thrived in this region during the mid-20th century. Keyser Ellison was a prominent company that operated its works on Carlisle Street for several decades until its closure in the 1970s. This photograph serves as a testament to their commitment to innovation and technological advancement. The sheer size and complexity of the furnace highlight both the scale of production and the level of expertise required to sustain such an operation. The monochrome composition adds depth to this image, emphasizing every detail within its frame.
