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 part of the brass foundry, with finished moulds in the middle distance. The brick-like objects on the left were open moulds used to receive molten metal left over after the moulds were filled. This small brass foundry was used to make parts required to keep the steel works working, such as brass bushes in which shafts ran. It was typical of many such foundries.
