description

Summary

Significance: Acquired by Bethlehem Steel in 1893, the works feature one of the few remaining hand-operated rolling mils, the 12" Mill, which was closed in 1990. The buildings are largely vacant; however, part of the revamped 14" mill operates in the northern end of the former 13" mill and shear shop. Importantly, the original Southwark steam engine remains in place in the old 36" plate mill, though it has not operated since the 1920s.
