Engineer 754 working on the overhead between Cleveleys and Thornton Gate. This is its final week of having the tramway to itself before reverting back to night shift maintenance. 6th July 2020.
John Callan, an employee of Dean Smith and Grace Ltd., is awarded Apprentice of the Year by Ian Smith (on the right). Circa 1960s.
Three Keighley engineers, Joseph Dean (1824-1909), James Smith (1834-1906) and John Grace (1840-1904), formed the partnership Dean, Smith & Grace in 1865. The men borrowed money to buy land from the Duke of Devonshire and built the Worth Valley Works. According to their 1889 catalogue, they manufactured machine tools “for locomotive, marine and general engineering, ordnance manufacturers, boilermakers, shipbuilders etc. etc.” and had already procured various government contracts. By 1883 their debts had been cleared and in 1898 the partnership became a limited company.
In the early years of the 20th century, some rebuilding and restructuring took place and the company started to specialise in the manufacture of industrial lathes. Their reach was global, doing trade deals with Australia, Japan, Italy, the Netherlands, Turkey, Spain, Mexico and Argentina.
At the outbreak of World War One, now trading as Dean, Smith & Grace (1908) Ltd., the firm’s efforts were recognised in a letter from Lord Kitchener. The letter, dated 22nd October 1914, acknowledged the importance of the work undertaken by the firm and its employees in playing their part towards the war effort. During this period the company also manufactured breech blocks for guns. From 1938, the firm was run by Sir Harry Smith, James Pearson and Bert Laycock.
During World War Two, Dean, Smith & Grace financed their own Spitfire as part of a nationwide drive to raise money for fighter planes. They produced lathes for all branches of the armed forces, the government’s Ministry of Supply and for the Admiralty, and became one of the first traditionally all-male firms to employ women. At their output peak they were producing 107 machines per month, meaning one-fifth of all the lathes manufactured in this country were coming from Dean, Smith & Grace. In 1948, a new range of lathes was exhibited the Machine Tool Exhibition held at Olympia in London, which led to considerable trade with Canada.
According to advertising from the time, by 1960 they were manufacturing 13” to 30” swing engine lathes, surfacing and boring lathes, and precision tool room lathes. The works at this time boasted many labour-saving devices including mechanised accounting machines, colour-coded signalling systems and index systems for accounts and stores control. Staff benefitted from a superannuation scheme, a canteen (with DSG-stamped cutlery) and a surgery “with sun-ray and infra-red lamps for treatment during working hours”. The company also had its own sports field and pavilion for its cricket team and other sporting activities. The firm boasted of its employee loyalty, recognising long periods of service – in one case over sixty years.
A new foundry in Lawkholme Lane, the Nelson Works, was built between 1962 and 1965. In 1974 the company was sold to US company Monarch Machine Tool Co. The firm then became independent again in 1992, rebranding as DSG Lathes. There was a management buyout in 2005 and former Rolls-Royce engineer Nigel Grainger took over as managing director. He initiated a rebrand and a complete overhaul of the product range, including the launch of new aerospace and pipe lathes. In 2008 the company went into administration and was bought by Newsmith Stainless Ltd. and traded as Dean Smith & Grace Lathes Ltd. In 2012 the company was sold on to Machine Tool Technology Group who in 2015 made the decision to move the firm from Keighley to Halifax.
Dean Smith & Grace is now a Belgrave & Powell Ltd. company operating out of Preston in Lancashire. According to its website “it still develops new machine tools but also offers robotics and automation, CNC retrofitted solutions, rebuilds, machine tool services and breakdown support for all types of machine tools with the same level of professionalism and pride in the name instilled in the business over a 150 years ago”. An example of a Dean, Smith & Grace lathe is held in the Science Museum Group’s collection.

CLARKS HILL, S.C. –Nearly 200 volunteers participated in clean-up activities at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers J. Strom Thurmond Lake for the 20th Annual National Public Lands Day, Sept. 28, 2013. Volunteers picked up trash, worked on landscaping beds, and applied water sealant on picnic tables at the Modoc, Petersburg, and Ridge Road campgrounds. Volunteers included students from Georgia Southern University, who built about 30 fish attractors using orange piping and cinder blocks. Corps staff will submerge the fish attractors in the lake, where they will provide cover for fish. Volunteers also worked on improvements to equestrian campsites at the Bussey Point Campground. National Public Lands Day is a nationwide observance coordinated by the National Environmental Education and Training Foundation. The observance began in 1994 with the idea that millions of Americans who use federal, state, and local public lands each year could spend a day volunteering their time to the land and their country.

Civilian Deputy District Engineer for Programs and Project Management Joe Seebode (r) of the New York District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and family members of the late Col. John B. O’Dowd as lift a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers flag to unveil a plaque dedicated to O’Dowd at the site of the recently completed Gerritsen Creek ecosystem restoration project in Brooklyn. A plaque was dedicated to O’Dowd, commander of New York District from 2001 to 2004, following a ribbon cutting ceremony there August 13, 2012. O’Dowd is best remembered at New York District for his leadership of the District following the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in lower Manhattan but he was also a big proponent of the Corps of Engineers’ growing environmental mission during his command. He was instrumental in the early coordination that ultimately led to the recently completed ecosystem restoration project at Gerritsen Creek. O’Dowd retired from the U.S. Army in 2006 after 28 years of service and died in January 2010 after suffering a heart attack.
The Construction on the Gerritsen Creek ecosystem restoration project, which involved the restoration and/or construction of 18 acres of tidal wetland and 23 acres of rare coastal grassland habitats, is complete and it will be back open to the public this fall after the newly placed plants have a chance to settle. The project was done in partnership with New York City Department of Parks and Recreation and includes accessibility for the surrounding communities to experience and learn about the natural environment around them.

Engineer Drew has the big T4 ACe at a good clip as it crosses Cordelia Slough on a fast run (at least by Cal Northern standards) back to Suisun. For reasons of probable PSR, UP's interchange train to the Cal Northern had a T4 ACe instead of the usual SD59, and I couldn't miss getting at least one shot of this big motor on the Cal Northern, probably the biggest since the Trash Train days of the 90s and early 2000s.
