A photo sent in by contributor Steven Cockrill shows a group of men at work, including his grandfather with a scale rule in his pocket on the right of the picture. He thinks this was taken on the cooling tower at the Shotton Steelworks site. Can anyone help with further information?

Another photo shows what looks like the inside of the tower and gives some idea of its scale and the conditions faced by workers in an era when health and safety in the workplace was probably less of a priority than it is today!
