Sheffield History Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 The Meadowhall area before the shopping centre was built there. This video shows the old steel factories (was it Hadfields or Firth Browns?) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rover1949 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I remember Hadfields very well, I used to inspect their cranes at one time. I recall the area was called East Hecla then. Where did the name Meadowhall come from? Was it just thought up by marketing people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldbloke Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I worked in the melting shop at East Hecla in 1980. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lysander Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Meadowhall was a place well before East Hecla came on the scene. Howells Tubes, Yorkshire Engine and a few others were based there....Meadowhall doubtless had a nicer "ring" than "Tinsley" for the marketing men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
