The Harry Brearley Story – Much More than Stainless (1871-1948)

Harry Brearley’s life in steel

Join historian Robin Fielder to hear about his research into Brearley’s early life growing up in a Burngreave slum and working at Firth’s, Brearley Pyrometers, his growing reputation, and his discovery of stainless steel.

Learn how his work fed into his personal life; and as a socialist what he did with his money.

Talk presented by South Yorkshire Industrial History Society. For further information please contact Ruth Tiddy (tel. 0114
