Thanks for posting this, especially that "Last man out switch off" (2:21) as Lysaghts went in the Thatcher closures. We had a world beating industrial town until then. Albinoni's Adagio very suitable piece of music for this montage. Execellent.
nice video. especially the last picture. i work in a foundry as a melter and it is a dangerous job . just 1 fuk up and your name might be on a casting as a memorium
nice vid just wish it ran a little slower so more could be absorbed of the pictures..

Excellent - many I've not seen before.
Just a couple of points:
1) 10' Plate Mill 1970's - should be 1950's or earlier. the 12' finishing stand was installed in 1958 and the 12' Rougher in 1960.
2) Redbourn Sketch Shears - should be Appleby. I don't think there was ever a plate mill at Redbourn.
Nice collection all the same, well done.

Great stuff. Lucky there are such good pictures.
I find myself thinking about the different trade skills of all those workers, the captions suggest so many different processes.
Don't you wish that industrial history wasn't so sad ? The music is so 'down', but when the people were working I bet they weren't sookie about it !
Well done !
