The work roll () has an axis (X) about which it is rotatable. A shroud () so positioned adjacent the work roll rolling surface () when the roll is in use to provide a cooling space within which a coolant is brought into contact with the work roll (). The shroud includes a first part () disposed on the chock () to provide a predetermined gap (G) between the first part () and the work roll (), a second part (), and a connection for releasably connecting the first and second parts (). In a connected condition, the first and second parts () are joined to provide the cooling space within the shroud (), and in a disconnected condition, each of the at least one chock (), the first part () of the shroud () and the work roll () may be axially removed from the rolling mill and the second part () of the shroud ().
