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 interior of the boilermakers' shop, where maintenance work involving the working of steel plates and sections was carried out. Note the gantry crane for moving heavy material in the shop. Until the 1980s it was common for large factories to have a comprehensive range of maintenance workshops, but mor recently there has been a tendency to contract out maintenance.
