  • The Federation was formed in 1887 with the coming together of blastfurnacemen's associations in Cleveland and Cumberland. By 1892, when it had a membership of about 8,000, it also covered Durham, Lancashire, North and South Staffordshire and Scotland. Its membership spread to Derbyshire, Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire in 1903, the East Midlands and South Wales between 1904 and 1908, and North Lincolnshire in 1909. By 1918 its membership was 25,200. The records suggest that the local associations which belonged to the federation functioned largely as autonomous units. In April 1921 they formally amalgamated to form the National Union of Blastfurnacemen, Ore Miners, Coke Workers and Kindred Trades.
