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.
