A British Reema ball mill prior to installation, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, 1963
A British Reema ball mill prior to installation, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, 1963. At the Edgar Allen Steel Company in Sheffield. Ball Mills are used to grind or mix materials like ores, chemicals, ceramic raw materials and paints. They rotate around a horizontal axis, partially filled with the material to be ground plus the material that does the grinding. This can be ceramic or stainless steel balls, flint pebbles or similar materials. The cascading effect reduces the material to a powder

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the industrial history of Sheffield, South Yorkshire. Taken in 1963 at the Edgar Allen Steel Company, it showcases a British Reema ball mill just before its installation. Ball mills were vital machines used for grinding and mixing various materials such as ores, chemicals, ceramic raw materials, and paints. The image portrays the immense scale of this manufacturing process. The ball mill is seen rotating around a horizontal axis, partially filled with both the material to be ground and the grinding medium. This could include ceramic or stainless steel balls, flint pebbles, or similar substances. As these elements cascade within the mill's chamber, they effectively reduce solid materials into fine powder form. The monochrome composition adds an air of nostalgia to this snapshot from Britain's iron and steel industry heyday. It highlights not only the technical prowess but also the sheer magnitude of production taking place within Sheffield's steelworks during that era. Photographed by Michael Walters of Paul Walters Worldwide Photography Ltd. , this image offers us a glimpse into an integral part of our country's heritage – one that shaped communities and fueled economic growth throughout England. Let us appreciate this remarkable documentation without forgetting its historical significance for future generations to come.
