Grade l listed.
South Chapel South Window - one of three lancets - detail.
By Alexander Gibbs (1832-1886).
He cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
This window is erected in memory of Robert Thomas Healey, late Captain 89 Regiment, 2nd son of Henry and Mary Elizabeth Healey, born at Risby, July 27th 1808, died at Ashby Decoy Cottage March 13th 1864.
Alexander Gibbs (1832-1886) was one of three sons of Isaac Alexander Gibbs (1802-1851), who started making stained glass just before his death. Confusingly, all three were named Alexander and the youngest also shared the name of Isaac. Alexander (with no other name) inherited his father’s business with Charles Alexander but from 1855 had his own business with two addresses in Bloomsbury. Among those working for him was Isaac Alexander junior. Alexander was willing to conform to William Butterfield’s requirement for clarity and lack of clutter and worked with him for the rest of his life. After his death, the firm continued the association and it did not close until 1915.

National Transport Trust visit June 25 2022
The Steelworks is served by c.100 miles (161 Km) of internal standard gauge industrial railway lines. I took most of the photos here from the train provided by Appleby Frodingham Railway Preservation Society who run regular tours around the whole site.
PLANT AND STRUCTURES: THE TRIUMPH OF FUNCTION OVER DESIGN
There are four blast furnaces at Scunthorpe, three fully visible here, but only two of them are currently in commission. The only other two working blast furnaces in Britain are at Port Talbot in South Wales. The four at Scunthorpe are named after English queens: Mary, Bess, Anne and Victoria. Coke, iron ore, sinter and limestone are fed – or charged – into the top of the furnaces. Steel is produced in them continuously and the molten metal is periodically drawn off and fed into special heavily insulated wagons ('torpedos') to be moved elsewhere on the site. A cooling tower is visible on the right.
Scunthorpe Steelworks is in North Lincolnshire in Eastern England. We travelled round the entire steelworks by steam train. Although we were given a guided tour, I can't confidently identify everything in these photos, so I mostly haven't tried to do so. I took most of this series of photos to capture the style and architecture of the plant and the various industrial structures. Quite a lot of the site is also derelict or abandoned, which also provides photographic interest in its own right.
