- This film shows the Stanton Ironworks, Derbyshire, in operation in about 1959.
It is reproduced with kind permission of Phil Hall, of the www.stantonironworks.co.uk website.
It was sent in by John Mason and shows some of the old Stanton site and Crompton Street, most of which was demolished in the mid-1960s.
Wow such history in such a short film. My step dad worked there for years and still lives just across the road!
my dad worked at stanton in the early 50s once asked him what they made at stanton he replied new pipes and old men
Used to live on Crompton Street and Hallam Fields Road (where the church is) when we were kids. Made this journey thousands of times. My dad was probably at work when this was filmed. Haunting images, memories.
i was born in the garret at 12 twelve houses, then moved to crompton street.
My grandma grandad lived on crompton street too last name Clewes
Lived in Sandiacre for the first 23 years of my life, I used to love cycling through the 'Iron Dale'' I always wondered what it would have been like when it was a sprawling working area
OH My.
Started my fishing in Chadwicks about 1960. Still fish there now. What memories that short film has evoked.
Nice interesting short film wonderfully upstaged by the great John Brook himself !!!
Late 1950s into the 1960s. I worked in Coventry from 1961 to 1965 but used to visit my parents in Eastwood a lot and that was on my route to and fro. I was a member of Ilkeston Motor Cycle and Light Car Club at the time.
A friend of my father's (Bill Sudbury) worked at the spun concrete plant. I think he was something to do with finance but not sure.
Started my apprenticeship at stanton,there was about 18 young men and we lived in a victorion house on the corner of Victoria park.
The house belong too the stanton & Staveley company and was run by a Mr and Mrs Woods.
Stanton Ironworks was a filthy industry which caused fetid clouds of smelly discharge to fall on Stanton by Dale and surrounds but it nevertheless provided an honest living for my father and many thousands like him. The business also owned hundreds of houses, and thousands of acres, which it rented out to its employees on modest tems. Consequently I enjoyed an idyllic childhood in Dale Abbey and S by D. My gran. also lived just off Crompton St. The co's. fishing waters were great!
the Stute???
music is a bit incongruous, is it Bach? maybe an old brass band more fitting for the time . My uncle was in the Stanton brass band, played the euphonium I think. great character our Phil - passed on now.
and bath street
any idea what time period this might be
