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 a row of wagons built to transfer hot ingots from Ravenscraig Steel Works to Dalzell for rolling into finished products. The covers were lined with firebrick to conserve heat during the transfer. The open-hearth melting shop at Dalzell was not capable of supplying enough ingots when the various rolling mills were operating to capacity, hence the use of these wagons.
