A number of highly skilled men were involved; from the draughtsmen drawing up the profiles, the pattern makers manufacturing the cut profiles for the roll turners to manufacture. Mike Hore told us: &#8220;The roll turner in the photograph is Harry Roberts. I worked with him on the same shift for a number of years before I left the Steel Industry. In addition the photograph was taken in the old roll shop which was situated under the mill arch and under the mill gantry crane. The picture was probably taken in the late 1960\u2019s since the present roll shop came into operation in roughly 1971\/72&#8221;. Ken Johnson also told us: &#8220;I trained as a teacher with Mike Hore. Mike was able to write \u201cSkinningrove\u201d in mirror writing as quickly and efficiently as writing in normal writing.. I wonder if Mike could still do that?&#8221;.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Thanks to Mike Hore and Ken Johnson for the updates.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n<p>Skinningrove Rolling Mills evolved as completely self-sufficient units, capable of developing the rolls for new sections and manufacturing them from blanks.
