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 offices, on Park Street. Note the way in which the sandstone façade, wallhead balustrade, and granite-columned doorcase are used to give a functional building solidity and dignity to impress customers and staff. This treatment of the frontage buildingson Park Street gives an impression of solidity and order which conceals the functional corrugated-iron-clad sheds housing the steel works plant.
