The Meadowhall area before the shopping centre was built there. This video shows the old steel factories (was it Hadfields or Firth Browns?)

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?

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
