Moving the Sheffield Press

Following completion of the new roof on the South Yorkshire Iron Works Building, our Sheffield Press had to be moved across to it from the Forge Building, where it was being stored. To move a heavy machine, over sloping ground, between two buildings with low roofs, there was only one option - put it on wheels and tow it with a Landrover. The 'rig' is seen here halfway along its route, while being checked over.
