The Works!

Skinningrove Iron and Steel Works is a postcard image by George Skilbeck, the view is from Carlin How towards the Talbot’s, the Scottish Agricultural Slag plant is off to the left; you can just see the basic slag heap from the Talbot furnaces.  The railway station is in the right foreground with the locomotive water tower just in view and the stockyards are mid-right of the image. David Mills asked: “Hi I wonder if you could help me I’m looking for some information regarding the demolition of the steel plant at Skinningrove in particular which company demolished the plant? My father worked for a company called F. B. Parvin Ltd; I believe it started to be demolished around the end of 1972 into 1973.” Can anybody assist with information?
