Plaque on the former All Saints Mission Room
On Forncett Street, just down the hill from the site of All Saints Church which was demolished in the nineteen seventies. Most of the humble houses that once stood in this area were demolished long ago and the mission room no longer serves its original purpose. Now it is an industrial unit.

All Saints Mission Room on Forncett Road, Burngreave
The stone plaque under the apex of the building's frontage tells passers-by that the building was given to the local community by steel manufacturing company T.Firth and Sons Ltd.. That must have been in the days when there was a community hereabouts. Most of the neighbouring houses were demolished long ago and the mission room was converted to industrial premises.

Rear of industrial premises - Carlisle St, Sheffield
The shelter at ground level is for smokers - an architectural trend that may be overlooked by history.

Putting the squeeze on, Avesta Cyclops Works.
This works is now closed. This hydraulic press was of 1912 by Davy and could exert 8000 tons. The main pressing is done by the central rams and there are two outer rams that take the press back up relatively quickly. The yellow and black striped object is a chock that can be inserted to keep the press open.
This works was doing defence work but nobody batted an eyelid when we asked for permission to photograph.

Meaty hydraulic pump, Avesta Cyclops Works.
This is the main hydraulic pump for an 8000 ton hydraulic press Image It is about 700 horsepower (from memory) and is a three throw device that looks like it's carved from the solid and is motor driven through a fluid flywheel (also known as a Foettinger coupling or torque converter). This drives the main rams for applying the squeeze. The back-off rams are driven by smaller, duplicated hydraulic pumps of a lighter/more conventional appearance.
