About the memorial: In storage at the Glasgow Museum Resource Centre. Wooden carved memorial board commemorating steel workers from Colvilles, who died in WW1. Large wooden board with carved design in centre of light wood depicting a male worker in flat cap and apron holding shovel in one hand and sword in other, with flames to one side, and wing and anchor to other with dates 1939 1945 above.

The company, based in Motherwell, was founded in 1871 and was Scotland's leading steel works until nationalisation in 1951. It was privatised in 1951 but the construction of a new plant at Ravenscraig led to the demolition of its old furnaces. It was renationalised in 1967 as the British Steel Corporation, itself now in private hands.
