Guest boxhead Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Does anyone have any info on the Hallamshire Steelworks? My grandfather worked there in the 30s and 40s (I think). He lost a leg in an accident there and I am looking for any details on the steelworks. Dave from Oz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waterside Echo Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 The most part of buildngs are still surviving, R.J.Wiseman's photo taken in 1957 shows the Hallamshire 'Man of Steel' emblem in its prime. Behind the arched window on the corner of the building was the large flywheel that powered the steel mill, also on this corner was a plaque that showed the depth of the water in the great Sheffield flood.

Guest boxhead Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Neddy - great photo! Thanks very much. I think my grandfather was still working here at this time so the photo is special! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KevinM Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I know this thread is months old but I've only just noticed it. My grandfather used to work here during the late 40's into the 60's. I remember my mother and I waiting outside for him to finish work, and we'd all walk home together to Hoyland Road. Joe Greenfield was his name, I think he was a foreman of some description from what my mother tells me. He used to practically live there from what I remember.
