Unusual View

The only time you would have got this view a few years ago was if you were on the steel works, but it does show the jetty off very well.

Skinningrove Works, 2006

Thanks to Owen Rooks for this photograph and following caption:

This is a shot I took from a helicopter of the works site in June 2006. I don’t know what goes on there these days so I’ll leave it to the experts to identify any noteworthy features!

Brickwheel Gang Again.

Quite a few comments about the brickwheel gang, this one has Harry Dack’s twin brother second from the right. Anyone know th names of the other men?

This photograph of Harry Grange and Mr. Burnley was taken on Skinningrove Works. Mr. Grange was a research chemist at the steel works. His daughter Carolyn is unsure about the identity of the other gentleman in the image, it could possibly be Norman Dales?

Dad with Skinningrove Staff

I don’t know what the occasion was. Carolyn Richard’s father, Harry Grange, is standing in the middle at the back of the group.

Dad at Work

Part of the Laboratory staff photographed during lunch break outside the laboratories in January 1947, the photograph bears this date on the back.
Back row: Alf James, Clive Lawson, Norman Dales.
Front row: Harry Grange, Donald Pell, Nancy Rudham, John Donavon, Elizabeth Ferrer, George Allison, Audrey Keen (later Dales). Harry Grange apparently set the camera up to take a time release exposure and then joined the group.

Skinningrove Ironworks

A view of the works looking over the top of the valley from the cliffs near Hummersea.

Eric Johnson tells us:
From the left. the new 36 inch mill can be seen; moving right the soaking pits, then next right the solitary large chimney of the original 250 ton tilting furnace of the talbots (melting shop). At the right of the photo, in front of the blast furnaces, the coke ovens are under construction, I believe they came on stream in 1911. During the Great War, extra furnaces and mixer were added to the talbots, the soaking pits were extended, a second battery of coke ovens erected, and in 1918/19 a 18,000 hp electric motor installed in the 36 inch mill.I would date this photo to 1910.

Thanks Eric for the update.

Iron and Steel Workers

Possibly ”Slaggers and Pig Bed Crew” in Skinningrove works, must be quite an early photo as none of the men are wearing a safety helmet. Middle man front row has his feet in ”Sow” channel for the molten iron.
