Skinningrove stockyard where the men are slinging angles, that’s what the caption said on this photograph. Alan Franks comments: “This looks like it is the ore tips where odds and ends of various steel sections were stocked. I was a stock taker here for a few months in 1960 before I moved to the 18 inch mill. I do not recognise the two slingers, the slinging chains are from a steam powered jib crane. In the background is the old basic slag building.
