Appleby - Frodingham Steel Company, Scunthorpe : advert in the Lincolnshire County Handbook : c.1955
An advert issued by the Scunthorpe based division of United Steel, the Appleby Frodingham Company. The concern had its origins in the early years of the iron industry in Lincolnshire with the formation of the Frodingham Iron Company in 1864 followed by the Appleby in 1875. Steel production was begun in 1890. After a period of merger via the Steel Company of Scotland both companies became part of United Steel Companies in 1918 and gained their title of Appleby-Frodingham in 1934. The works, astonishingly, still survives as the Corus Works.
The advert appears in the Lincolnshire County Handbook, not dated as usual, but c1955. The handbook was, less usually, issued with the approval of three county councils; Parts of Holland, Kesteven and Lindsey as Lincolnshire, like Yorkshire and its Ridings, was technically divided into separate county councils.
