Scope and Content Clydebridge Steel Works, Tollcross, Glasgow This works was founded by the Clydebridge Steel Co Ltd, and was acquired in 1916 by David Colville & Sons, when a new melting shop was constructed to meet wartime demand for steel. This was re-equipped for hot-metal working in the 1940s. This view shows tilting open-hearth furnace S, in the 1916 melting shop, seen from the charging floor. The doors in the front of the furnace have been removed. This furnace had a capacity of 300 tons, and was tilted to tap it. Steelmaking ended at Clydebridge in 1978, as part of the nationalised British Steel Corporation's programme of phasing out open-hearth steel-making. As the works used molten pig-iron from Clyde Iron Works, it closed too. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
