EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1916, capturing a pivotal moment in Sheffield's rich industrial history. The image showcases the relentless energy and craftsmanship of forgeworkers at Cammell Laird and Co. Ltd. , one of Yorkshire's renowned steel manufacturers. In this bustling forge, bathed in an intense glow from roaring furnaces, skilled workers meticulously shape red-hot metal into axles using drop hammers. Their muscular arms swing with precision and strength as they bring down these mighty tools upon the glowing steel, forging it into bloom. The scene is a testament to the sheer power and ingenuity that defined Sheffield's steel industry during its heyday. Every strike reverberates through the air, echoing the city's unwavering determination to produce high-quality materials for various applications. Sheffield Libraries have preserved this remarkable piece of history within their archives, allowing us to glimpse into a bygone era when factories like Cammell Laird were at the forefront of innovation and productivity. It serves as a reminder of how far we've come in terms of technological advancements while honoring those hardworking individuals who helped build our industrial heritage. As we admire this photograph print today, let us pay homage to these unsung heroes whose tireless efforts shaped not only axles but also communities and economies alike.
