British Steel Shotton Works Cold Mill

Members of the Closure Team preparing the mill for rolling for the last time before strip out

This involved powering up the mill electrical,hydraulic and pneumatic systems and moving the work rolls into the rolling position

 Here we see the production team members running the mill for the last time before final isolation and strip out

I was a closure team member. We kept the mill in an operational state for 2 years following the plant closure in 2001. 

This is how things used to be when Great Britain was an industrial nation
