The Little Matlock Rolling Mill in
Sheffield, England was built in 1864 then driven by the water power of the
Loxley River.
In 1957 an electric motor replaced the water wheel (which is still there).
The mill was later owned by Barworth Flockton Ltd and in 1997 it was taken
over by Firth Rixson Ltd.
After a two year closure Pro-Roll Ltd took the site
over in 2001 and saved the rolling mill from demolition.
Pro-Roll Ltd today hand rolls bars in small lots and
from speciality alloys.
