EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Sheffield City Archives takes us back to the year 1918, offering a glimpse into the industrial prowess of Cyclops Works. The image showcases an integral part of Cammell Laird and Co. Ltd. 's operations, as they were known for their exceptional forging capabilities. The scene unfolds within a bustling workshop where skilled workers are diligently engaged in forging files. The sheer magnitude of machinery and drop hammers present is awe-inspiring, symbolizing the might and innovation that characterized this era of industrialization. Cyclops Works itself holds a significant place in history, having evolved from Johnson, Cammell and Co. , established way back in 1837. Later on, it merged with Charles Cammell and Co. Ltd. , founded in 1864 before amalgamating with Laird Brothers of Birkenhead. The photograph's vibrant colors bring life to this historical moment frozen in time. It serves as a testament to the immense contribution made by companies like Cammell Laird during World War I when their expertise was crucial for producing essential war materials. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we can't help but appreciate the dedication and skill exhibited by these workers who played an instrumental role in shaping our modern world through their craftsmanship at Cyclops Works. This print stands as a reminder of Sheffield's rich industrial heritage and its pivotal role during times of global conflict.
