EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by H. Bedford Lemere in August 1913, offers a rare glimpse into the bustling world of Cammell Laird's Cyclops Ordnance Steel Tyre and Spring Works in Grimesthorpe, Sheffield. The image transports us back in time to the early 20th century, during a period of intense industrial activity that supported the British war effort in the First World War. The photograph captures the fettling shop, where skilled workers are meticulously shaping and fine-tuning massive components destined for ships. The room is filled with an impressive array of machinery, each piece humming with purpose and precision. The workers, dressed in protective clothing and engrossed in their tasks, embody the dedication and hard work that characterized the home front during this era. The Cyclops Works was a crucial part of Cammell Laird's expansive industrial complex, which produced a wide range of components for the navy, including armour plate, propellers, and boilers. The works played a pivotal role in the production of warships during the First World War, demonstrating the vital contribution of the industrial sector to the British war effort. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the extraordinary industrial achievements during this period, as well as the tireless efforts of the workers who made them possible.
