Has anyone watching this ever dug out wet clay with a shovel I have and by god it’s hard work men where men back then and had to do hard graft like this They built our country ❤
I have yes. On a similar thing. We had 40 tons of gravel delivered at my uncle's - hes a farmer - about 65 years old at the time. I said i would give him a hand moving it - I thought it would take 2 or 3 days. I was about 2 or 3 hours late. HE HAD SHIFTED THE LOT...!!! Him 1 wheelbarrow, a shovel and 3 hours of hard graft he moves 40 toms of gravel from the road to the back of the farm buildings.
I visited Cardiff Bay for work this week. I had a walk in the morning before my meeting. I looked out at the old harbour and imagined the ships there 100 years ago. I read an information board saying it was the biggest industrial harbour in the world, now sadly all gone. Then I think back to our great industrial heritage. If you could imagine 100s of Amazon warehouses stacked full of industry of all kinds, the ingenuity, the skills, knowledge and wealth. Now there is one of those warehouses with a small pile of pennies in the corner, that's what left. How the politicians and the establishment have destroyed this country, it makes me very sad and angry. The next general election will only replace the current bunch of idiots with the new ones. Beam me up, Scoty.
My father was born at Tiger Bay, in 42, so you walked in his footprints, as a merchant sailor he seen the world and brought his family to Australia in 68
The voters voted for the politicians. There is no separate species of people called politicians. People get what they vote for. Vote for mainstream CON/Lab/Lib politicians, and you'll have the land we have today. Vote for any party that should put the nation first, and you'll have a different land. Even if the land isn't t a successful one, it shouldn't be a voluntarily destroyed one. People shall blame anyone but themselves.
The people who vote in the politicians that destroy your way of life are the ones who live in the cities these people built. Thy think that houses just grow from the ground, you plant the trees that grow your computers, and the food you eat just falls out of the packaging plant.
In my opinion, the guys who built this infrastructure are heroes of the first order. Although some of the film may be 'staged' for the cameras, there's little doubt that these workers took their lives in their hands to get the job done. We owe them a debt of gratitude.

Dad was a storeman in Ebbw Vale, he issued anything fron a clock spring to a half tonne bronze bearing. The store was 1/2 mile long, so they had a bike with basket. The site was 3.5 miles long.

Those fellows, hard at work, on hard jobs. I jolly well admire them to the extreme. I worked forty years in canning, using the tinplate from these mills. Peace and goodwill.

I hauled steel back in the 70’s, I recall picking up a couple of ingot mould stools at Shanango Steel in Lackawanna New York, and delivered them directly to the # 1 melt shop at Stelco ( Steel Company of Canada ). I’ve picked up a lot of steel product, coils, plate, bar, ingots, billets, but what I got to see inside that building was heavy industry in your face. I had to wait in there with my truck and trailer while they taped and poured molten steel further up the building, then the crane carried the product by my truck. This huge gantry crane then came along and lifted the mould stools of my trailer. Apparently they bump the solid red hot “ pig “ onto the stool, and the “pig “ remains on the stool till it’s soon shipped to the nearby rolling mill. Meanwhile the empty mould goes back to the furnace area to be refilled once it’s tapped. It had to be close to a 100 degrees in that building. Being the dead of winter my air system froze up soon after I left, and I had to add methyl hydrate to the tanks.
I hated school and in my Biological fathers Leyland Octopus As a little lad smuggled under blankets in to Trostre Velindre etc...(Kids wait in the security hut) not Me.!!!!!I peeked out watching the crane loading the steel/tinplate...Wonderful childhood and still cab happy UK Europe at 81....Lovely memories....
So much could be said about this fine film. Imagine all the planning, and the mind-boggling size and complexity of the construction - let alone the mechanical and electrical aspects. No sane person could fail to be impressed. What an amazing work-force. What a project. Nothing lasts for ever. It is sad that all this has had its day. Is it all the fault of the politicians? I doubt it, although they would have been instrumental in taking decisions. Demand has changed, other countries can make the stuff cheaper and the pollution is "their" problem. You can look at it so many different ways. The war and its aftermath consumed so much steel - but no one would want that again - yet it is hard not to feel immense awe for the folk who were involved in this great industry of the past, and lamment its innevitable passing. (in my opinion) I visited this strip mill as a student in the early '90s, and to see the ingot of incandescent steel moving ever faster as it coursed along the rollers, getting ever thinner, and feeling the heat on our faces from around 100 yards away was something I'll never forget.
it always amazes me the scale of capital required for something like this would be considered worth investing, of course in these years with a destroyed europe there would have been a great demand for product.
See the guys rolling the white-hot steel ingots (@ 37:32) wearing their 'Sunday best' three piece suits and trilby hats! Obviously, dressing scruffily is bad form whilst making steel.
The guys controlling the rolling mill were top men, hence the Truby Hat and not flat caps as a symbol of their skill and standing, with all those knobs, gauges and levers, must have felt like they were controlling the starship Enterprise 😊
Being British, they knew that the most important thing when working in an industrial setting like this with tons of powerful machinery is to wear a necktie. That way. You maximize the chance for your tie Getting caught in the machinery which would crush you within seconds. At least you had a sharp tie on. They had a brilliant sense of style.

This video interview with Steve Surtees is the second one in my series about Port Talbot and the end of primary steel making in South Wales, UK. th-cam.com/video/e6XtrRhvYYc/w-d-xo.html
The Furnace is lined with kiln bricks (a skilled job) then the Tuyeres that feed the blast air into the furnace are cooled by water jackets so they don't melt.
Still there and still going strong - built for The Steel Company of Wales (SCOW), from 1948 along side the older Margam works. SCOW later became British Steel Corpoation, then British Steel, then Corus, and now currently owned by Tata
The Humans of the future wish they would bring restore the farms to grow food for them to eat, and fix back all the coal fumes that fill the atmosphere. Dont get me wrong, my great Grandad Thomas Jones, worked in the steel mills all his life, and his dad in the coal mines.

Where today at the top of our government system is the ability to visualise instigate and fund and deliver such projects, sadly gone I fear. DEI, transgender forces and too much immigration is all on the priorities of our "betters". To build new and something useful [not like HS2] that we could all admire, would not that be what they should be spending our money on?
I'd say the amount of environmental consideration was non existent at the time , and as regards health and safety concerns... , not a helmet , face masks , ear protectors or goggles in sight anywhere.Did those workers even have a trade union at the time ?

Wonderful stuff. My grandfather worked in the tinplate works in Gowerton. Fantastic to get an idea of how they worked.

Wonderful to see these old films.
It is now 2024 some 73 years since this film was made and now all those steel works have since gone and no longer exist.

Should have a lot more views.
The working conditions are frightening. But they got the job done.
Amazing from marsh land to producing steel, in 4 years. I'm amazed that the men working around the molten metal are so calm.

Back when the UK made things.

When Britain was GREAT and British .
Amazing !
It's interesting to find this video at the same time as they are dismantling the two great furnaces shown (or probably ones that replaced those two).
Being British, they knew that the most important thing when working in an industrial setting like this with tons of powerful machinery is to wear a necktie. That way. You maximize the chance for your tie Getting caught in the machinery which would crush you within seconds. At least you had a sharp tie on. They had a brilliant sense of style.
Wonderful workers and great plans, but many sad comments... not much else to say. Huge ambitions, all derelict or just memories and museums!
Interesting thing the diesel locomotive pushing the flatbed of ingots is an american built switcher made by Alco.
AFAIK, the works used 5 Alco’s (#801-805) along side Brush / Rolls Royce locos, which replaced the older steam locos
Lima cranes & Euclid trucks too!

The Furnace is lined with kiln bricks (a skilled job) then the Tuyeres that feed the blast air into the furnace are cooled by water jackets so they don't melt.
because it's lined with a refractory material like fireclay
So how long did the steel plant last is still there
