Forged in Steel
Strange things are happening in the heart of the city. Snatches of melodies are carried on the breeze, and the once familiar, but now long forgotten, tang of oil and metal drifts through the square… A generation after the statue of the Steelmen first came to life for their parents, three children discover the magic and mystery of the old steelworks for themselves, as they are taken on an incredible adventure through time, back to an era when women sometimes wore not only the trousers but the goggles and overalls too!
