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 early 20th century open hearth melting shop, which had been closed earlier in 1978. The bay seen here was used for preparing steel scrap and pig iron for charging into the furnaces. The renationalised British Steel Corporation decided in the late 1970s to phase out the open-hearth process as a way of making steel in favour of the basic oxygen process, a development of the Bessemer process, hence the closure of this shop.
