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 on the right the electric motor which drove the finishing mill in the light-section shop. This motor was powered by direct-current electricity made from mains alternating current in the Ilgner set on the left. 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.
