EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in the bustling Brown Bayleys Steel Works Ltd. The image showcases the old Bessemer B furnace, a pivotal component of steel production during its time. In the foreground, we see a skilled worker diligently fettling the hole in a ladle, preparing it for another stopper. The man on the ram can be seen carefully turning over the ladle, ensuring that every step is executed with precision. The atmosphere depicted in this photo is one of industriousness and dedication to craftsmanship. It offers us a glimpse into the daily lives of these hardworking furnacemen as they contribute to Sheffield's thriving steel industry. Taken from George Launders' "Reminiscences: B. B. S. W. and its surroundings" published in 1937, this historical image provides valuable insight into an era when manufacturing played an integral role in shaping local communities.
