EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Sheffield City Archives showcases a significant piece of history - John Brown and Co Ltd. Atlas Works, serving as a poignant memorial to the Great War that shook the world between 1914 and 1918. The image transports us back to an era when steel industry reigned supreme in Attercliffe, Sheffield. The imposing structure of Atlas Works stands tall against the skyline, symbolizing both strength and resilience. This industrial powerhouse was at the forefront of Sheffield's steel production during its operation from 1864 to 1924. Its presence served as a constant reminder of the city's contribution to Britain's war efforts. Located on Savile Street East, this monumental site played an integral role in shaping not only Sheffield's landscape but also its identity as a hub for manufacturing excellence. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the countless men and women who dedicated their lives to support their country during those tumultuous years. While we cannot overlook the devastating consequences of war, it is crucial to honor those who made sacrifices for future generations' freedom. This print serves as a testament to their bravery and resilience while paying homage to John Brown and Co Ltd. , whose legacy continues through this enduring memorial at Atlas Works. As we reflect upon this image captured by local studies experts, let us remember that it is our collective duty to preserve these memories so that they may inspire future generations with lessons learned from our shared past.
