STEEL WORKS, REDCAR AND CLEVELAND. A conveyor belt under construction in a tunnel at the British Steel Works at Redcar.
The first phase of Laings involvement at the Redcar site consisted mostly of the construction of facilities for the reception and storage of raw materials, raw ore, coal and limestone. A network of tunnels was constructed underground to move these raw materials to the stockyard once delivered by rail

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history at the British Steel Works in Redcar. The image showcases a conveyor belt under construction inside a tunnel, symbolizing the relentless progress and innovation of the steel industry during the 1970s. During this era, Laings played a significant role in transforming the Redcar site into a hub for receiving and storing raw materials such as ore, coal, and limestone. To efficiently transport these essential resources to the stockyard after being delivered by rail, an intricate network of underground tunnels was constructed. The photograph not only highlights the immense scale of industrial infrastructure but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination. The stark contrast between steel beams against dimly lit surroundings creates an atmosphere that is both awe-inspiring and mysterious. As we gaze upon this historic snapshot from Historic England Archive, we are reminded of how industries like steelworks have shaped our world. This image invites us to reflect on the tireless efforts made by countless individuals who contributed to building nations through their hard work and dedication. Let this print serve as a reminder of our past achievements while inspiring future generations to continue pushing boundaries in pursuit of progress.
