Sorry :D
Same I watch him
Yeah Redcar British Steel
AheadMatthewawsome yup
Vicky looks different
annndddd it's still there, costing 100k a week.
I know it's not profitable but I'd love to see it as an open air museum.

The Redcar Site was built in the mid 70's so where does the 175 years of contamination come from?
Why didn't everyone fight for Teesside Steel as they seem to fight so hard to save Scunthorpe and so recently the Port Talbot Steel Works.
Politically Teesside has always been the 'Fall Guy' when Plant or Work Closures are involved.
Now apart from the new British Steel (Greybull) company i.e. the Beam Mill - it really is a ghost town/works !
Andy Donaldson Redcar works was built on an old steelworks called Warrenby.
The whole of the river Tees estuary had steel blast furnaces along its banks. This was the last one.
@@liamgbooth blast furnaces produce iron with 4-4.5%carbon...this was converted to steel by Bessemer, open hearth furnaces and the modern BOS plants
Oxygen blown.
What should be done? I suggest making steel there.
I think they should turn it into in industrial or science museum
I never worked in any major heavy industry like steelmaking or oil refining but i have worked in an office and fixing cars and finally ended with schoolkids volunteering. The prospects in Yorkshire and the NE are so bleak. The only option left for these steelworkers is to mantain cricket clubs, rugby pitches and golfcourses nothing else.
Turn it into a science museum
Pull it down and build a Disney style fun park
Let's skip the decontamination part before setting up the amusement park. We could just as well poison the brats who are empty enough to fancy going to a rinky dink amusement park.
NO THAT BUILDING HAS STOOD THERE FOR 200 YEARS
@@mrbuttonscat3849 Blow it up. it polluted the area for 200 years more like.
@@ArgosWarrior You must enjoy living and working in/around and using steel free products. Oh wait, you don't. Steel is everywhere.
@@ih82r8 I Enjoy how clean and sweet smelling they left the surrounding area NOT, They made Billions yet put nothing in to upkeep the surrounding area, Hence the TOXIC pools and slag heaps all over the south Gare area. Never mind I guess its good business and screw everything else. BLOW IT UP!
Heard about the train station at the steelworks? And how Geoffs train got cancelled so they stopper another
I would say a small runway or airport but look what happened to teeside
put some bookies, pound shops and charity shops on it?
it has all gone now everything is demolished
At least preserve the blast furnace for future generations to marvel at.
We can't be an empire if we don't make our own steel
I don't think you guys have been an empire for over a hundred years now. But yeah, this is sad. Outsourcing industry puts the entirety of environmental burden and power into too few hands.
Giant paint ball park.
As the Tories would say: You are all just looking for hand-outs. There are plenty of great jobs out there.
Vote Labour and get a Syrian refugee camp and new mosque.
Turn it into a creative makers space where the community can come together to make things, run by the community for community benefit, powered by free energy Preserve.some of it as heritage. Hopefully will help create jobs for all.those that are now out of work.
Nice idea
Steel to steel,
Aluminium to aluminium,
Copper to copper,
And so on. ♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️♻️🤑💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷💷
The same happened to the Hunedoara's steel complex in Romania. Demolished and scrapped, only a few got filthy rich from commerce with scrap.
