Ltd's Atlas Works, located on Savile Street. As one gazes at this remarkable scene, it becomes apparent that steel and industry were the lifeblood of Attercliffe during this era. The photograph portrays an imposing landscape dominated by towering chimneys billowing smoke into the sky. These chimneys symbolize not only the sheer scale of production but also serve as a testament to the relentless work ethic and ingenuity of those who labored within these walls. Atlas Works was more than just a factory; it was a hub of innovation and progress.
