A century ago, highly skilled workers were striding to work, swerving at the clatter of horses’ hooves on the cobbles and jumping at the whistle of steam behind them.
Never more so in 1909, when the White Star Line’s new Titanic liner became the 401st ship to be built at Belfast’s Harland & Wolff shipyard.
To accommodate the sheer size of Titanic and her sister ships, the yard constructed a sophisticated, state of the art scaffolding system known as the Arroll Gantry named after its designer, the Scottish civil engineer and bridge builder, Sir William Arroll.
Today, Arroll company is one of the leading manufacturers of cast iron radiators and baths, as well as providing an extensive selection of traditional radiator valves and accompanying accessories.
