I work in the steel industry for 29 years still you are missing it when the furnace, ladles casting, teaming in to ingots with the steel alive it’s a sight to be hold and the noise second to none and when we drop a basket into the furnace it’s better than a fire works display 🎉
As an engineering student in Sheffield, I got to go round the various steel plants, and the most terrifying was a) standing on a gantry above a 64ton arc furnace when it was charged at Templeborough (now Magna industrial museum), and b) going round Thrybergh bar mill just after they had a cobble, seeing people fleeing then jumping over red hot tangles of bar attaching chains to crane it out of the way! As an 18yr lass, straight out of high school, it was truly terrifying and yet so thrilling. My heart hurts for the demise of the Sheffield industries.
Breathtaking video well done , I had the privalidge of exploring the Consett Steel works in the UK just before closure it was an explore I always remember and nearly spent 2 days there , at its peak Consett employed over 6000 workers , owned 7 mines and 4 limestone quarries , its own internal bus service and had 1200 workers cottages built , the site was so big the foremen used to drive round on motorbikes now hardly a trace of the once world's 3rd biggest steelworks remain .
You visited the converters area and the continuos casters N° 1 and 2. The whole area had a total of 4 continuos casters ,but the N° 3 and 4 where a bit more tricky to explore because very close to the rolling mill, that is the only part of the plant that is still active. There was also abandoned coke batteries and the blast furnace. Sadly all those structures has been completely demolished recently and now there is only a empty space.
I really enjoy your industrial explores, the vastness,huge dimensions of metal and machinery thrill me with terrifying horror. I wonder if they were so fearsome with the workers there 😮
Once again what a brilliant video and explore. Loved this series and would love to see more as the quality of the video, its content the narration and locations are way beyond most other Urbex TH-camr's. Having once worked in Paper making, I used to think that the Paper Making Machine Halls were big, but the Steel Mill Halls are just something else. I would happily pay money to visit these places. Thanks Lads.
WOW....everything covered in dust.....from machinery to inside the control rooms.....wonder if it was like that condition when all the machines were operating???... bad for their health...thanks for that great explore..........👍👍
Hi Alistar how you doing? Another amazing video again really loved Part 2 well filmed and edited thanks for taking your time to show us as viewers this amazing massive steelworks buildings its been so intresting and enjoyable to watch so thanks again for that anyways i hope your having a good afternoon Alistar and keep up the great content on your channel 👍
Hiya Alistair, I really enjoy your vlogs either in UK, Ireland or Italy, the music is really good, my stomach was alright with this explore because I knew nobody was around, I don't mind if you split the vlogs in to 2 parts, i would rather watch 2x 20 minute ones than 1x 40 minute vlog, this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumbria, England
4:00 That rotary phone with the central grille is presumably so that the operator can shout at it and hear the response from the other end of the control desk. If he can see which button to press. The dust! Looked it up but can't find one, any telephone engineers here? 5:08 is the least convincingly genuine, longest winded and most obviously a legal get out that I've ever seen. A bit like this overblown comment of mine, you'd die of boredom before you got to the end of the safety messages.

Few things get your attention like charging a furnace with a wet load, I expect 😜

Thank you for the info, hope you enjoyed
I love all of the industrial sites you explore. Thinking about when they were built, to being used and now their decay is amazing...
It’s always fascinating how something so vast was constructed taking years, only to be vacated 50 years later
I just love theese buildings!!! This one truly looks sooo cool

Glad you enjoyed this one and our other industrial explores!
Really good work with this.
Fantastic explore! 😁

One of my favourite vids of yours so far. Bravo 👏
Industrial my favourite explore subject 👍
Really great to hear it, thanks so much
Great video - as always. Amazing resource ! Mark.

No problem. I doubt it, but these places do tend to be dirtier than others
Well done guys another great video all just as good as the one last Friday. Keep the good work going. Look forward to the next one
Thank you!
Magnificent Structure Did An Awesome Job Showing The True Impressive Machinery That Was In Constant Use, Shame It's Abandoned 😊

Lol @ "ladles" 😄. Try crucibles.😉
In fatti, I think that you mean
Crogioli, don't you Signore?!
What are the laws over there on Urbexing? Are they the same as here?
;)
Just amazing, thanks for having me along. （￣︶￣）↗
You are very welcome
