In the Lincolnshire district 2 new blast furnaces and 6 steel furnaces were sanction in 1916; and 2 blast and 3 steel in 1917/18. [35] By 1918 production of pig iron in the district had risen to around 650,000 tons. [33] During the interbellum the three Scunthorpe works increase the share of UK steel production from 3 to 10%.

[12] A number of techniques that impacted the theory and practice of construction were developed at the site.
