His uncles "Cappy Ward" and Graham Ward also worked there. My dad continues to still work in the steel industry to this very day. Anyone know or heard of him or his uncles? Also where can I get any pictures of The Rolling Mills as I've searched the internet to no avail so far. Thank you Gary I have a couple of photos of the mill I worked in. When I find out how to post them, I will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
