Mothballed

Taken the other day a sad sight the now shutdown Redcar steel foundry, no more steaming chimneys, such a sad sight......
We had to wind our way through film crews to find a parking space, I think they were just waiting to make their final report.
In the foreground are fishermens huts, it's quite a thriving little village! ...

[Lesley Aldridge]

So sad Margaret especially as I seem to recall that there was plenty of work not long ago?

[Kate Goring]

This is impressive on black.You certainly captured the feeling.

[The Intermittent Photographer aka Blue Rose]

Very sad indeed. Thinking of your community.

[KWind]

Great collection of buildings. Sorry it's shut down now!

[Graham Thresher]

Great shot.

[Pyrrhula]

Plants are n`t my favorite subjects to photograph but it`s always so sad to see them close down. So sorry for the workers. Hope they have find a new job. Great shot anyhow.

[Paula W]

A sad sight indeed, such a huge loss to the area. An interesting contrast between the little fishermens huts and the huge foundry in the background.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Great shot. It does look really quiet there.

[Christine]

Really sad for the families who rely on it! Good capture

[Babs]

Super shot and a sad sight indeed. Always sad when industry dies. You have captured the scene so well.

[Milanie]

It is an excellent shot on black - definitely shows the sad mood of the town here. Like the contrast of the little huts and the big steel foundry.

[Kathy]

These old plants and mills are sad to see shut down, abandoned and decomposing. This is a real hit on your community economically, too, I'd imagine.

[Issi Bannerman]

Oh dear. The cost of progress, I suppose. A lovely image for posterity though Margaret.

[Dione Giorgio]

Sad to see employees being laid off, most of all. Well, the old industry has to make way to the new like us humans.

[Joyce]

Such a sad sight and so awful for the workers.

[Nina Ganci]

that is so sad, so many people now will be unemployed. Sad to see this
Great capture
