Download or read book Barrow Steelworks written by Stanley Henderson and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2015-08-03 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the second half of the nineteenth century, Barrow-in-Furness became a pioneer in iron and steel production. It went on to grow astronomically – owning collieries in three counties and ore mines in two – and became the largest integrated steelworks in north Lancashire and Cumberland and, at one time, the largest steelworks in the world. Its success was due, in part, to having the prestige of three dukes as directors, as well as to being only 2 miles away from one of the largest and richest iron ore mines in the country. Written by two former employees of the works, Barrow Steelworks chronicles the company's past from the early empire through the inter-war and post-war years, the development of continuous casting in the 1950s, which revolutionised steelmaking, and, finally, the struggles and ultimate demise from the 1960s onwards of this once prominent industry.

Download or read book Barrow Steelworks Continuous Casting written by Stan Henderson and published by . This book was released on 2021-11-25 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the end of the Second World War (1939-1945), there have been some outstanding technical developments in steelmaking (processes, techniques and practices), which have since been adopted on a worldwide basis. These developments include the use of oxygen in bulk; automation; high-speed rolling and continuous casting. During the 1950s & 60s, the works at Barrow-in-Furness adopted all four initiatives in varying degrees. Most notable for us was the development of High-Speed Continuous Casting. In this book the authors are attempting to lay down a permanent record of what was achieved locally and thereby, hopefully, preserving the memory of a once-proud industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The far north of England is a key site for family historians. Many researchers, seeking to trace their ancestry back through the generations, will find their trail leads to the north or through it. And yet, despite the burgeoning interest in genealogy and the importance of the region in so many life stories, no previous book has provided a guide to the documents and records that family historians can use in their search. In this accessible and informative introduction to the subject, Keith Gregson looks at the history and heritage of the region - of Northumberland, Tyneside, Durham, Wearside, Tees Valley and Cumbria - and gives a fascinating insight into the world in which our ancestors lived. He introduces the reader to the variety of records that are available for genealogical research, from legal and ecclesiastical archives, birth and death certificates to the records of local government, employers, institutions, clubs, societies and schools.
