Redcar Return

Feb 16th 2020

Afternoon trip out - finished up at Redcar on a wild day.

Brought back many thoughts of days gone by specifically 1977 -81 at Lackenby BOS Plant

Some images have been gathered to fix the reflections.



Today's distant view of the once elemental ironworks complex

Twenty metre level, charging side

Not a still from "ALIEN"

A typical access gantry on the BOS

One of dozens

Charging a BOS vessel

Two vessels blowing
Molten slag flares the night sky

Back on the 20m level, tapping side.

Vessel "Turned Down"


Check the dip!


1640!

 Vessel Control is a few yards away
TAP IT OUT! says George G

A recently installed sea front impression falls woefully short

of any sort of recognition

And a penguin? WTF?
