J2170, the chimneys of John Lysaght's or Normanby Park steelworks in the background.
Long gone.
In those days Scunthorpe had three large steelworks and one or two smaller, employing around 24,000 men.
Town was booming, if a little dirty.
Calls for the council to attract other industries were treated with derision.
Now we have one medium sized works employing around 6000 men, we no longer make our own coke for iron making, so the "four queens", the blast furnaces that make virgin iron, are also under threat.😒
Still, we can make poor quality steel from scrap, and it'll improve our net zero standing...
