Stockton Ironworkers – 1905

Does anyone have any information about these photographs, taken about 1905?

I suspect that they were taken at Richmond Ironworks in Bowesfield Lane, Stockton-on-Tees, known locally as “The Bowesfield”, because I have evidence that a man in one of the photographs, James Stirling, was working there in 1908.

I believe the works were on the left-hand side of the lane heading out of town past the Railway Bridge.
