Just a quicky are they still in business? with the Corus steel mill closing down nearby went past today plenty of trucks parked up??
Passed their place at Thurgoland twice yesterday, and there seemed to be plenty of activity.
Bear in mind it is Saturday and people do like to have time off you know.

Got to admit though Alex, they may be old, but certainly look well maintained.

Only the melting side of things closed down years ago at Stocksbridge, now the steel is brought in by rail in ingot form, from Aldwarke ( Rotherham)… I think the original plan was to close it full stop, and move all production to Aldwarke, but the top brass in charge who make these decisions, and I find this unbelievable, didn’t realise that Stocksbridge had a reversible rolling mill, so they could send the steel through, and then back again, the mill at Aldwarke was one way only, so they had to send it through mill, then take back round, on a train, and send it through again, and again. That’s what saved Stocksbridge from closing full stop…
there’s plenty of them in & out the steelworks at scunthorpe everyday
