Anybody On Here Who Worked In Rolling Mills In The 70s

[kidneystone]

My brother in law worked in the rolling mills for many years, one of the places he worked was Eaton & Booths on Penistone Road. His name was Graham Butler, don't know if anyone remembers him

Hi my dad Terry White worked at George Clarke's on Penistone road during late 1960's early 70's. His uncles "Cappy Ward" and Graham Ward also worked there.

My dad continues to still work in the steel industry to this very day.

Anyone know or heard of him or his uncles?

Also where can I get any pictures of The Rolling Mills as I've searched the internet to no avail so far.

Thank you

Gary

My dad Roy Cottam worked at Parkins on middlewood Road up till 1983 when he was made redundant, shortly afterwards he died from a heart attack.

I can remember going down with him on a sunday to light the furness for the early Monday shift and then going for a walk along the river. Me and my sister would run on the spot on the steel rollers on the floor until dad came from lighting the furness and told us off.

Hi  cot123 I have just come across this post.I worked with your dad From `74 until `82 when we all got made redundant, Roy was a Roll Turner then went into Management a very fair bloke. I once bought a Triumph Herald off him  It was in immaculate condition until I got hold of it.

Hi St Petre It was on the Right as you come into Oughtibridge  from Middlewood opposite the very

first houses I think it is a caravan storage place now. It shut down in 1982 I was one of the youngest there  and I`m 60 now, Most of the millhands are no longer with us

Oh that part of Middlewood Road, thank you. I was thinking of the old Beeley Wood forge, obviously not that place.
