[maestromanification]

Some fantastic pictures on there, so sad how terminal decline has set in and everything is overgrown

Thank you for bringing back memories of the local steel history and my thoughts on some of those I worked with.

In the 50s I walked the Black Path many times from Middlesbrough to South Bank.

[chrisolvanhill]

Ah the memories used to walk the black path from s.b.c.ovens to the boro in the early seventies.

Absolutely haunting.
Have we made progress? I'm not so sure..

Fabulous stuff and also very sad. I did the Black Path in 2019 and I can’t believe how much has now gone. I loved the sound track too. Who’d have thought the O.H.M.S.S soundtrack would have complimented these industrial images so well! Can I ask where the dialogue of the woman talking about walking as a ghost came from?
