This print captures a significant moment in history - the visit of King George V and Queen Mary to Cammell Laird, Grimesthorpe Steel and Ordnance Works in 1918. The image showcases the intricate process of making laminated railway springs, highlighting the remarkable craftsmanship and expertise of the steel manufacturers at work. In this snapshot, we witness a pivotal aspect of the transportation industry as skilled workers meticulously craft these essential components for rail transport. The bustling Carlisle Street East location serves as a backdrop, symbolizing Sheffield's rich industrial heritage. The royal visit adds an air of grandeur to this scene, emphasizing its historical importance. King George V and Queen Mary's presence signifies their recognition of the crucial role played by Cammell Laird in advancing Britain's manufacturing prowess during World War I. As we gaze upon this photograph from Sheffield Archives SY529/1, we are transported back in time to an era when British industry was at its peak. It serves as a testament to the dedication and innovation that propelled Sheffield into becoming one of England's leading steel manufacturing hubs.
