Firth Brown Brief History

Formed in 1902 as an agreement between two steelmakers, John Brown & Co. and Thomas Firth and sons with both companies keeping their own management structure.They came together in 1908 to form Brown Firth Research Laboratories where on 13th August 1913 Harry Brearley invented stainless steel. The companies formally merged in 1930 under the banner, Firth Brown Steels. Sheffield's biggest steelworks.
The two companies manufactured at various sites around Sheffield until consolidating at the Atlas works.
After the nationalization of the steel industry in 1967 the company saw various changes and is now part of Sheffield Forgemasters.
The Atlas works cast its last steel on 26th May 1984 and the building was completely demolished in the mid to late eighties..........

.........except for the underground medical centre, used to treat the many injuries sustained in this hard and dangerous profession . Okay, so when they were using it, it wasn't underground. It has been buried under soil and rubble, for some reason, and is now under a lorry park used by the new owners of the land.

And over the years is rotting and decaying rather beautifully!
