John Summers Steel works ( Corus) to be renamed Tata Steel. No one would have thought 30 years ago that UK's steel industry would be decimated and the rest sold off to India with the active help of the EU. The above photo is similar to the two furnaces that were part of our local steel operation 40 years ago. As an apprentice I had the opportunity to see one of these furnaces in full operation. I also visited Brymbo Steel Works which used electric arc to make steel. In fact our own Cllr David Wiliams was an apprentice at British Steel another of it's names. We went to the local Tech college together.
