Scope and Content Lanarkshire and Dalzell Steel Works, Motherwell, North Lanarkshire This shows the two works from the south-east., looking from Craigneuk Street across the mining engineering works of Anderson, Boyes & Co Ltd. The chimneys on the right belong to the Lanarkshire's melting shop, and those to the left of centre to the Dalzell melting shop. The Lanarkshire was in 1971 one of six large open-hearth steelworks in the west of Scotland, the others being Dalzell, Clydebridge, Glengarnock, Ravenscraig and Clydesdale. In 1975 the British Steel Corporation decided to end open-hearth steel making, and all these melting shops had gone by 1979. The Lanarkshire steel works was founded in 1890, and the Dalzell works in 1881 by David Colville & Sons. Together they formed the heart of Scotland's steel industry until the construction of the Ravenscraig Steel Works, on a site to the east, in the late 1950s. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
