This print transports us back to the bustling Cyclops Works in Sheffield during August 1913. The image, captured by renowned photographer H Bedford Lemere, showcases the Cammell Lairds Cyclops Ordnance Steel Tyre and Spring Works in all its industrial glory. In this particular shot, we are granted a glimpse into the shell machine shop where men diligently work amidst an array of machinery. Their focused expressions and determined postures speak volumes about their dedication to their craft. These workers form an integral part of the home front effort during World War I, contributing to the production of essential materials for the war effort. The sheer scale of the factory is awe-inspiring; it serves as a testament to Britain's booming industry at that time. This photograph encapsulates not only the magnitude of industrialization but also highlights how factories like these played a crucial role in supporting wartime efforts. Bedford Lemere's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the grandeur and intricacy within this scene. From towering machines to meticulously arranged tools, every element tells a story of innovation and hard work.
