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 exterior of the light-section mill, on the left. One side and end were corrugated-iron clad, the more public faces being covered in brick. The wagons on the right were newly built to move iron ore from Hunterston to Ravenscraig. 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.
