<Herbert Le Neve-Foster

"Uncle Herbert", though always referred to as "an engineer" was in fact a metallurgist specialising in steel. In the 1880's, when the famous and then new Bessemer process of open-hearth furnaces for the conversion of iron into steel was being popularised, he was very actively engaged in it and was employed by several important firms on the Clyde, and on the Tees, in the installation and management of new plants. Later, about 1890, he became general manager of the well-known Round Oak Steel Works at Dudley, which now forms part of the great Tube Investments empire. Subsequently, about 1895-6, he left this job and set up in Birmingham as a steel metallurgist and was concerned, in a consultative capacity, in the layout and installation of several important steel plants, notably Ebbw Vale (now part of the Richard Thomas and Baldwins) and Cargo Fleet (now part of South Durham).

He was also one of the pioneers in the manufacture of refractory material from magnesia limestone (Dolomite) for lining furnaces. He died prematurely at the age of fifty-one in 1904, without realising the full potentialities of his prospects, experience or enterprise. His wife and three children, Sydney, Fermian and Muriel, survived him.>
