EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the dedicated workforce of Brown Bayleys Steel Works Ltd. Foundry in Sheffield, Yorkshire, back in 1908. The image has been skillfully colourised from its original black and white format, breathing new life into this historical moment frozen in time. In this bustling scene, we witness a group of hardworking men proudly posing for the camera amidst their industrial surroundings. Clad in rugged work attire and donning protective gear, these steelworkers epitomize the resilience and determination that defined Sheffield's renowned steel industry during its heyday. What makes this photograph even more remarkable is the presence of children scattered among the workers. These young souls serve as a poignant reminder of an era when families often relied on each other to survive harsh working conditions. Their innocent faces offer a glimpse into the challenges faced by generations growing up within this demanding trade. Preserved within Sheffield Libraries' archives as y03987, this image serves as both a testament to our industrial heritage and a tribute to those who shaped it. It stands as an invaluable resource for researchers, historians, and anyone curious about Sheffield's rich past
