Rust

Getting less and less is the redundant steel works. It’s being taken down bit by bit and on the ground in a huge heap is a pile of rusting metal work. Buildings are disappearing slowly, soon it will just be a piece of empty bare ground. I will miss it when it’s gone, I have known it’s outline on the coast all my life and although it may seem ugly it’s an iconic landmark for Redcar.

It's looking pretty sad and sorry, although I'm sure it will be a great loss for those who remember it fondly.

Wild looking… looks to have come out of a science fiction movie.

[Kathy]

Aging colors give a bit of a sad feeling to this, despite the act that some are actually pretty bright.

[Corinne C]

So many wonderful shapes and rusty textures. Hope the land can be used in other ways.

Nicely photographed.

[Dione Giorgio]

I can understand your feeling. It is always sad to see something you have been used to for all your life disappearing. Beautiful shot and composition. Nice rusty textures.

Great capture of this huge rusty icon!

[Harry J Benson]

Nicely presented, you would think that they could repurpose some it.

[Fisher Family]

A lovely industrial shot. I clearly remember the steel works and coal mines of South Yorkshire as I was growing up, and it is so different now.

I think it sad, too, Margaret! (I sound "old" when I say it...) It seems folks today have no regard for history!
