Scope and Content Dalzell Steel Works, Motherwell, Lanarkshire Dalzell Steel Works was developed by David Colville and Son from 1880 to complement their existing malleable-iron works. A new large open hearth steel plant was installed in the 1914-18 War. After 1945 a new light-section mill was built by Colvilles Ltd. This view shows the finishing mill stands in the highly automated light-section mill. In these three sets of rolls billets from the cogging mill in the shop were formed into angles, Ts and other sections. To the right are the cooling racks. This mill was an early victim of rationalisation in the renationalised British Steel Corporation. Colvilles Ltd had been developed as an integrated concern, supplying steel in a wide range of forms. The new corporation did not believe in that concept. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
