History
Firth Brown Steels was initially formed in 1902, when Sheffield steelmakers John Brown and Company exchanged shares and came to a working agreement with neighbouring company Thomas Firth & Sons. In 1908 the two companies came together and established the Brown Firth Research Laboratories and it was here, in 1912, under the leadership of Harry Brearley they developed high chrome stainless steel. The companies continued under their own management until they formally merged in 1930 becoming Firth Brown Steels. The company was amalgamated into Sheffield Forgemasters in 1982.
Our Visit
The entry was well lets just say I wouldn't have been able to do it without my lovely patient boyfriend who helped me a lot during our visit, if it wasn't for him I would not have got into this place. As soon as you enter this place the smell and decay just slaps you in the face quite literally! But apart from that it has a lot of photographic potential. Here is the photographs I got, I did find it very difficult due to the lack of light in there and had to just work with what I had so here you are enjoy!
Consulting Room
Screen
Broken Screen
Some guys shoes
Peel
This table had some interesting stuff on it
Somebody thought it was a good idea to splatter fake blood all over the walls?
Adhesive plaster
1940 newspaper
This room freaked me out a little
Guess they liked Britvic
Beware
Stalls
Saved the best for last of course
Thanks for looking
