EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the industrial history of Rotherham, South Yorkshire, in 1963. The image showcases the powerful Linderman box baler as it crushes scrap metal at The Edgar Allen Steel Co's yard. This machine played a crucial role in preparing the scrap before it was transported to their Sheffield foundry for melting. The photograph exudes an air of nostalgia, taking us back to a time when Britain's iron and steel industry thrived. It serves as a testament to the country's rich industrial heritage and highlights the importance of companies like Edgar Allen and Co. in shaping England's economy during this era. Renowned photographer Michael Walters skillfully captured this monochrome scene, emphasizing both the immense size of the machinery and its impact on Rotherham's landscape. With his keen eye for detail, Walters successfully conveys not only the physicality of this crushing process but also its symbolic significance within British industry. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded of how vital these machines were in transforming raw materials into valuable resources that fueled economic growth across the nation. This photograph stands as a tribute to all those who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to drive progress within our country's thriving metal industry during one of Britain’s most transformative decades –the 1960s.
