  • The Camel and the Cyclops - Charles Cammell formed one of the world's largest iron and steel companies at his Cyclops Steel Works in Sheffield, England, on the back of the world's 19th century love affair with railways. His company went on to provide Royal Navy warships and cruise liners. Railways around the world still use Metro-Cammell rolling stock.

    I would recommend anyone visiting Sheffield to go to Kelham island the museum is brilliant and although it’s a regeneration project they’ve kept the industrial vibe. And the pubs are brill 😀

    I work at Cyclops works as a furnace man, good too here about this historic building. Lots of little secrets to be found. It’s very interesting.

    Thanks for that. I've worked for ATI which now uses the Cyclops site and I wondered where the name from.
