Middlesbrough and Teesside are renowned for their association with
the iron and steel industry. Iron has been produced there on an
industrial scale since the 1850s, when Cleveland ironstone was
discovered in the Eston Hills. By 1866, there were fifty-eight
blast furnaces in Middlesbrough, Cargo Fleet, Eston (South Bank)
and Port Clarence and the growth and subsequent decline of the iron
and steel industry is, in many ways, the history of Middlesbrough
itself. Any uninformed visitor could be forgiven for overlooking
this heritage, however, as there are so few remaining architectural
reminders of that historical association; the furnaces and mills
have been demolished, the corporate buildings are now night clubs
or pubs, the river is less polluted, the air is cleaner and
quieter. These images trace the changing landscape from the latter
half of the nineteenth century through time to the late 1960s when
the industry was nationalised.
