Inspired by the world of shadows report i thought i would dig out some of mine from recent years some of the buildings have since been demolished. These are mainly around the cleveland works area south bank coke ovens the old pig casting machine site and the ore handling plant etc a lot of has sadly gone i have plenty more pics if people are interested.
the old pig casting machine site office this building has now gone pic taken about 4 years ago.
looking out of the offces towards south bank coke ovens
another one from the office
gatehouse at the riverside
some night pics of the south bank coke ovens dorman long coal bunker you can see red hot coke in the catcher.
almost on the top floor stunning views of industrial teesside from here.
at this point the conveyor belt entered the bunker though long since removed just a steel mesh guard is all that protects you from a sheer drop to the bottom i remember the wind was howling through this and it was pretty scary with clanking of metal etc.
way down below a lorry discharges its load of coal to be eventually made into coke for the blast furnaces
This is the large building next to the DL tower for the blending of the coal etc looking out at the plant.
this is a view of the coal stocking yard which i dont think is in use now the coal was loaded into a tunnel which then came up this conveyor.
final one from here looking down at the old loco shed now i think they service the lorries in there.
A look at the the old ore handling plant whats left of it with the coke ovens in the background
the Middlesbrough Saltburn main raiway line passes through the steel works this is a view looking towards middlesbrough from near south bank station.
An old office for the Colliery arch plant cleveland works.
