Description:

Metal Workshop in the main UMIST building. Taken from the western end of the room the shot is angled east and shows a row of long benches which stretch nearly the entire width of the room at which a number of men in Edwardian dress can be seen working on various projects. The tables are set out with rather rustic and worn looking crucibles and an assortment of tools for working metal as well as having what appear to be gas taps protruding from their surfaces. About midway between the photographer and the end wall the room is divided by a framework of wood and glass that reaches to a height of perhaps eight to ten feet but does not stretch the entire distance towards the vaulted ceiling above so that the rooms are only partially separated. Little can be made out of the section beyond the divide except that there are two windows in the eastern wall at its far end. The sloping ceiling is supported by a complex network of exposed beams and on the northern side of its peak has a continuous line of windows set vertically into it so that they interrupt the smooth flow of the roof giving it a stepped appearance. There are tall windows in the southern (Looking out over Granby Row) and the northern (Looking across to the northern wing) walls. The workshop was located on the third floor (floor E) of the building along the southern wing. The number ‘54’ has been written in pencil on the reverse.
