I use to work for a company called sheffield smelting on attercliffe, I use to work on the big rolling machines rolling solid gold and sterling silver all to be turned in to coins for all over the world. I have worked on the 10" cogging mills bloody hot work in the winter & even hotter in the summer but like every job people as done you had some brilliant work mates well I did. Oh I have worked on the big plate mills as well that was heavy work and worked on the strip mills as well mind you I must admit I enjoyed every day working in the rolling mills. I know I once spent two years on nights solid thats 7 days a week if I did it now it would kill me.

My brother Ken Kay worked in the rolling mills, not sure which. My husband Pete worked at Sanderson Bros & Newbould later Sanderson Kayser for many years, tough times but nor exceptional in those days.

I worked at Shepcote Lane Rolling Mills 1970/72 but only as a computer programmer. However, my Dad, Eric George was Hot and Cold Rolling Mill Manager in 50's, 60's, until November 1972 so if you worked there, you may have missed him. Been in the Plumpers a few times.
