Aerial View of Skinningrove Iron and Steel Works

Viewed towards the sea this time; the Talbot’s with its four smoking chimneys; Rodney Begg told the Archive “I spent about nine months on the shift lab with Stan Agar and learned to weigh off a sample of slag or iron – while the scrap kibbles rolled past – no mean feat!”.  Malcolm Moore advises: ”My dad was a first hand on the Talbots, he retired (pensionless) about 1970. The Works did him no favours!”

Many thanks to Malcolm Moore for that update.
