Description

Middlesbrough's Iron and Steel Industry explores the history of iron production in the area from the 1850s to the late 1960s. The industry played a significant role in shaping the town's development, but few remnants of its past remain visible today.

Photographs tracing the changing landscape over time reveal the transformation of Middlesbrough's industrial heritage. From blast furnaces and mills to corporate buildings now repurposed as nightclubs or pubs, the industry's impact on the town is still evident in the altered environment.

This book provides a unique insight into the history of iron production in Middlesbrough, shedding light on an often-overlooked aspect of the town's past. The images and narrative come together to create a compelling account of how the industry shaped the area's identity.
