Women Of Steel

Recommended Posts

My Mum worked as a crane driver at Hadfields during the war until a friend who also worked on the cranes, fell to her death. She decided that she'd had enough of that and had me instead. I have often wondered if there were any photos of the ladies who worked at Hadfields in the war years as quite often photos are shown on TV and in publications from other steel works.

Thanks Carol

Personal protection is something which has grown over the recent past. I remember being at school in the 1950s and ne'er a safety goggle/safety glove was seen in Chemistry or Metal work lessons. My Dad, a Trade Unionist ,insisted I wore safety glasses...the only lad in a class of 30 that did!
