EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the industrial landscape of Sheffield in 1862. The image showcases the renowned Cyclops Works, owned by Charles Cammell and Co. Ltd, located on Savile Street. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we are transported to a time when chimneys billowed with smoke and steel manufacturing was at its peak. The photograph captures the sheer magnitude of the cementation furnaces that dominated the skyline. These towering structures were instrumental in transforming raw materials into high-quality steel products that fueled Britain's booming industry during this era. The sight of these imposing furnaces serves as a testament to Sheffield's pivotal role in shaping the country's industrial revolution. In addition to its impressive infrastructure, this image also offers glimpses of rail transport within the works' premises. It is fascinating to witness how locomotives seamlessly navigated through this bustling hub, transporting goods and materials across vast distances. As we immerse ourselves in this historical moment frozen in time, it becomes evident that Cyclops Works symbolizes not only an industrial powerhouse but also represents the resilience and ingenuity of Sheffield's people who dedicated their lives to advancing steel manufacturing. This print from Sheffield City Archives allows us to appreciate both the grandeur and intricacies involved in creating such an iconic landmark within our city's rich heritage.
