Not the well known Minnie this time, but Lizzie one of the loco’s from Skinningrove works, pictured in the mid 1930’s with (left to right) Len Horner, Mark Cook and ”Scotchy” Jones. Lizzie was scrapped in the late 1950’s.
Thanks go to Joyce Dobson for the loan of her photo. and David Husband advising of sources for our detail.
Thanks to Mrs. Carole Starsmore for this photograph of her father, Jack Goodwill, with Bob Harland and ’Mink’ Simpson taking a break in the stockyard at B.S. Skinningrove Works in the 1960s.
Another photo kindly loaned to us by Neil Suckling who asked where was the photo taken? My thoughts are that it is Skinningrove works, but I can be wrong as proved so often in the past. What do you think?
Eric Johnson suggests: ”if this is skinningrove, it dates from the introduction of steelmaking. at the left of photo is the new talbots building, at this stage only one furnace of about 250 tons capacity was operating. a glimpse through a gap in the sheeting appears to be a high ground type charging machine having driven one in my time later in the life of the plant. moving right, next to the water tower the large pipe is part of the gas producers, with the tall tower the coal hoist to feed the retorts. and behind the large building is the new power house. the men appear to be standing on the site of the soaking pits and 36inch mill.”
Thanks to Eric for the update.
The caption tells all.

The foundations for a ’new tippler ore crusher’ c1950 I am told by Eric Johnson who loaned the photo. We are also advised (by Phil Ransome) that the gentleman at back left is possibly Nelson Downs. Can anybody else assist with names.
Thanks to Phil Ransome for the update.
This is the 18” mill before remodelling in 1956 with Les Smith (the roller)in the centre of the image.
Thanks to Eric Johnson for the loan of the photo and the information.
That was the title to this cutting – red hot slag being run off one of the blast furnaces into buckets at Skinningrove Iron and Steel works. The cutting is dated 9th February 1937.
I know that the gentleman on the left is Frank Liddiard, but who are the other two men and where abouts on Skinningrove works are they?
Eric Johnson believes: ”this may be the location of the scale charging car, on no 5 furnace. the large round object on the left might be the weighing scale, for weighing the charges from the materials bunkers ore/ coke/ limestone, and then taken to the skips for hoisting to the furnace top.”
