Tony has been a member of the Group for a few years. He often shares stories of his working in heavy industry.

We talked about Sheffield’s proud history of steel making and how it shaped the lives of people who worked very hard in difficult working environments.

Tony expressed an interest in visiting Kelham Island Museum, a Sheffield industry and steel making museum with interactive galleries and on-site Craftsmen Tony, Lynsey and Courtney had a brilliant day out.

Tony was especially impressed with the River Don Engine, a steam engine that was used for rolling hot steel. It was built in 1904, after over 70yrs service it was installed in Kelham Island Museum. Its sheer size is a sight to behold.

There were friendly, knowledgeable guides that were happy to talk us through different machines and tools, we all came away knowing more than we had arrived with.

Afterwards, we went to Joni\u2019s cafe for a drink and relaxed before heading back home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
