EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in British steel history. Taken on the 26th of September, 1972, it showcases part of British Steel's determined effort to combat pollution on Teesside. The once towering chimneys of the Lackenby open hearth plant now lie dormant, symbolizing the closure of this facility. The image reveals a remarkable transformation as 23 chimneys have been eliminated through the introduction of the basic oxygen steel making plant at Lackenby. This innovative technology not only revolutionized steel production but also played a crucial role in preserving the environment. From an aerial perspective, we witness an industrial landscape that was once dominated by smoke-belching chimneys now giving way to cleaner skies. The photograph encapsulates both the might and progressiveness of British industry during this era. It is important to note that this image represents more than just a company's success story; it reflects society's growing awareness and commitment towards environmental preservation. As nationalization took hold with British Steel Corporation (BSC), such initiatives became emblematic of Britain's determination to create sustainable industries for future generations. This print from Memory Lane Prints serves as a poignant reminder of how our actions can shape our surroundings positively. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity and resilience while highlighting the importance of responsible industrial practices in building a greener future for all.
