Excellent well put together video and the music was very discriptive for that environment, I used to play there as a child, they found a buried German bomber plane with the pilot still sat in it years later right next to that oven.
A true testament to British engineering and resolve. A tragic event happened at the Ammonia washers at SBCO on 19/09/2019 where 2 contractors sadly lost there lives due to an explosion from the towers as they where subcontracted with the agreed decommissioning and demolition of the Ammonia wash towers at the South Bank site. What a terrible loss of life, thoughts and condolences are with family and friends.
I still work there. The original batteries were knocked down in 1972 and a two new ones built to the East. The Dorman bunker is still standing and is used as a header tank for the fire fighting system. One of the quenchers is still utilised as is the by product plant.
This will be all gone soon it's a shame about our steel was the best in the world could of been saved when it shut in 2015 but this crap conservative government didn't want to know I worked there as a cleaner for 23 years on lackenby broke my heart when it shut but I'm back there on security now to see this come down hurts like hell.
I moved to Boro 9 years ago and would drive out of my way to watch it in operation.

Tragic
Good to see construction rather than destruction of Teesside icons. Amazing. I was part of that. Sad it may seem
I was taking pictures of the Dorman Long site in Southbank earlier today, shame a lot of it's now gone :/
Remember them so much

Sorry to hear that mate, maybe you got the date of Riss' post wrong, it's a year old. (sorry too about the kick comment) He's a top bloke is Russ.

@BluffMunkey Cool, thats what i had in mind when making the track.

Before the UK joined the EEC / EU, a time when we actually made things.
the days of highly skilled british engineers,a lost era
Oh yes, and brexit has obviously worked wonders for this country. Leaving the EU has had a brilliant effect on us.

King Dank Newton you are not kidding there, the fuel department used to tell them how to do their jobs for them. Lol.
