Interior view showing plate cooling bed with plate rolling mill in distance, from the north east, c.1896. On the right is a plate shears. The numerous rollers in the foreground enabled plates to be manoeuvred into the shears. Edward Finch & Co of Chepstow built ships and fabricated bridges, as well as building overhead cranes and fabricating large girders, as seen here. Two long handled plate donkeys stand in front of brick built cooling tables. Mill engine, plate mill and rolling lathe in the background.
