EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1918, capturing a pivotal moment in Sheffield's rich industrial history. The image showcases the renowned Cyclops Works, an integral part of Yorkshire's steel industry. Standing tall and proud against the backdrop of Sheffield, this iconic establishment played a vital role in shaping the city's identity. Intriguingly, our gaze is drawn towards a fascinating process known as tilting tool steel. This technique revolutionized metalworking during that era, allowing for precise manipulation and forging of various components. The sheer power emanating from the drop hammers is awe-inspiring; their rhythmic pounding echoing through the workshop walls. The mention of Cammell Laird adds another layer to this visual narrative. Known for their expertise in shipbuilding and engineering, it appears they were closely involved with Cyclops Works during this time period. Such collaborations between giants within different sectors further highlight Sheffield's status as an industrial powerhouse. As we delve into this historical snapshot preserved by Sheffield City Archives (s00541), one cannot help but marvel at how far technology has progressed since then. Yet amidst all these advancements, it is crucial not to forget or overlook the remarkable contributions made by pioneers like those captured here. Let us cherish such glimpses into our past – reminders of perseverance, innovation, and collective efforts that have shaped communities like Sheffield throughout generations.
