  • The old Dorman Long Cleveland works, now known as the Southbank Coke ovens was one of the very first targets come the announcement of the closure of the SSI Steel and Iron making complex on Teeside.
    The Southbank Coke and Gas works are by far the oldest remaining parts of the recently operational site, the works at Lackenby and Redcar been far more modern.
    Dorman Long was formed in 1875 when Arthur Dorman and Albert De Lande Long took control of properties owned by the Bell Brother and Bolckow and Vaughan. Dorman Long opened the Cleveland works in 1918 Cleveland Works is opened and shortly after in 1924 one of the works most famous projects, the construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge commenced.
    The site consisted of a small Power Station, Gas Works, Coke Ovens, 5 Blast Furnaces and Cast Houses, today, as you'll see in the pictures all that remains is the Coke Ovens, Gas works and one or two other small survivors such as the Power Station Pumphouse and the OHP Buildings. The blast furnaces had ceased production by 1979 leaving only the sole blast furnace at Redcar in operation on Teeside.

      I know what you mean I covered the old British steel sites at Redcar and Grangetown, memories for the ex workers are important.
