Forging Shell, Cammell Laird, Sheffield, Yorkshire, 1917 - A Glimpse into the Steel Industry during World War One

EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from the archives of Sheffield Libraries takes us back to the year 1917 in Sheffield, Yorkshire. It offers a fascinating glimpse into an essential aspect of the city's history - the steel industry and its crucial role during World War One. In this powerful image, we witness skilled forgeworkers laboring tirelessly at Cammell Laird forge. The intense heat radiates from glowing furnaces as drop hammers pound relentlessly on red-hot metal. These dedicated workers are engaged in munitions production; their efforts focused on forging shells that would be vital for British forces fighting on the front lines. The significance of this photograph lies not only in its depiction of war-related activities but also in capturing a pivotal moment when industries like steel played a critical role in supporting national defense efforts. As one gazes upon these determined individuals working diligently amidst heavy machinery and sparks flying through the air, it becomes evident how their tireless dedication contributed to shaping history. Sheffield City Archives preserves this precious snapshot as a testament to those who labored selflessly behind-the-scenes during WWI. This image serves as a reminder of both the sacrifices made by countless individuals and the immense impact that industrial centers such as Sheffield had on global conflicts
