Redcar's Defunct Blast Furnace Demolished

REDCAR, ENGLAND - NOVEMBER 23: The sky lights up at sunrise for the final time over the former steel blast furnace near Redcar that is due to be brought down in an explosive demolition today on November 23, 2022 in Redcar, England. Redcar's former steelworks has dominated the Teesside skyline for four decades. Finished in 1979, the blast furnace stands 365ft tall and was ranked the second largest of its kind in Europe. The site was mothballed in 2010 before being restarted by SSI UK when it took over ownership from Tata Steel in 2012, but it entered liquidation three years later with the loss of more than 2,000 jobs. The site is being cleared as part of regeneration plans on the Teesworks site. (Photo by Ian Forsyth/Getty Images)
