Sydney, Australia.

My father, Thomas Rae, was employed at the Clydebride Steel Works during WW11. He was killed in an accident at that work place on March 5th 1946 at 5.50pm. His residence at that time was 45 Gateside Avenue, Halfway, Cambuslang and my mother\'s name was Isabella Rae. At that time I was nine months old, my sister 2 years old and my brother 11.
Is there any way of finding out more about this accident.

I\'m trying to find out details/memories of my great gran, Mary McNeilly, who I believe worked as a supervisor over the female workforce during the Second World War. I understand that she eventually married John McCracken who was a senior manager at Clydebridge. I found some information and pictures under the \'People\' section.

I lived in the Viewpark/Birkenshaw area and went to school in Motherwell. First at St Joeph\'s and then at Our Ladys always within sight of a plant. I can remember some of us school kids eating lunch at the Dalzeal Steelworks Canteen. After school I worked in Ravenscraig from 1986-1988 first as an apprentice electrician and then as an Electrician at BOS Plant then the Concast. The first two years of my apprenticeship was at Training School in Mossend. Is there anyone out there with memories of the Training School . I love your site and all the posts keep up the good work. I may have some pictures from some of the Concast Golf Outings from the 80\'s

Looking for info on Lanarkshire Works

Great website, lots of nice detail mages of the equipment. I worked in the Ravenscraig Mills Maintenance Planning office as an engineer from 1967 to 1977. Before I got my own car I used to cut through the Lanarkshire and Dalzell works to get down to Motherwell Cross for a bus or train into Glasgow.
Keep updating the site as new images are found.

Looking for photos and/or information about Glengarnook Steel Works in 1860 - 1900 when our ancestors worked there. Is there a list of workers. A Charles O'Hara was killed in Sep 1884 when run over by a train. Is there any record of that???
Thank You Kerrie O'Hara

I own a canal tug built for use on the Birmingham Canal Navigations dating from about 1900-1915 ish.

During work today I discovered lettering on the iron angles used to brace the hull of the Tug- it is of wrought iron plate, rivetted construction.

I found "colville" "steel" and " ?azell" which lead me to the Colville Co. Dazell works.

My question is I found a crown form adjacent to the "?azell" marking- A trademark?

Also I believe the Tug was built for Noah Hingleys Iron works in Netherton, in the Black Country, who also used a crown mark- any connection?

Noah Hingley were chain and anchor manufacturers- does this fit?

Info gratefully received- thanks

In my capacity as a builder, I have recently recovered from a house, built in 1910, a small RSJ type beam. On the side of the beam was the makers name, GLENGARNOCK STEEL. I entered the name to see if any info was available on the company. Very interesting.

I have a photo of an interesting fish plate on a side line here in Queensland. I was trying to trace the Scottish plant it came from. My late uncle James Weir worked at Colvilles. Our family are from Motherwell on my dad's side
