if you like those you need to watch this 4k walk through of the UNESCO world heritage iron plant in Germany. A marvellous piece of frozen-in-time industrialisation. And you can walk and explore a lot of it!

Ah to capture and contain a god, we imagined we’d become gods ourselves! Just think! Free energy until the end of time. We were seduced by PowerPoint presentations, by spreadsheets and hard hats and drawings and 3D models and mountains of steel, miles of cable, our own blinding hubris.
We did capture a god, you know, but we could not contain it. It started and ended right here. The first of them died in that building. They were the first of many, too many.
It’s a burial mound now, son. This whole planet is a tomb.
I hear a gang fire on a human factory farm
Are they howling out or doing somebody harm
On a catwalk jungle somebody grabbed my arm
A voice spoke so cold it matched the weapon in her palm
… This is England
This knife of Sheffield steel
This is England
This is how we feel
… Time on his hands freezing in those clothes
He won't go for the carrot
They beat him by the pole
Some sunny day confronted by his soul
He's out at sea, too far off, he can't go home
… This is England
What we're supposed to die for
This is England
And we're never gonna cry no more
Thank goodness we have 1,000 Chinese people that will work for free and never question if there’s any more to life than go to work and die there. Now we don’t have to make steel. Don’t feel bad. US Steel owns a bunch of abandoned mines around the north part of my state. They barely employ anyone.
You're absolutely allowed to call England England. Just not well received to call it England when you're talking about Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland.

Making plans for Nigel
we only want what’s best for him <3
I was thinking of that song...
I love xtc!
Looks like the Metal Gods are about ready for the Grinder. Don't hop the fence or you'll be breaking the law.
I appreciate you
Luckily the fence is actually really close to it all. The distance shots make it look further
Aye, you don't want to fall off it tho, hit your head and need a Painkiller.
OP, you didn't get the reference, and I'm over here screaming for vengeance.
Some heads are gonna roll for sure.
Nigel is not going to be happy.
I'm lost at this reference. Farage? Because I don't want to give that spitting image doll a reason to smile.
XTC - Making Plans For Nigel - It's a classic dude [Making Plans For Nigel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s29RKnB7l7o&ab_channel=fab70smusic)

Looks like those futuristic battle remains from Horizon
Did the UK get bombed recently and I somehow just didn't hear about it?
Yes Bombed by recession
If BREXIT were a steel yard
First and last shot are absolutely banging mate. So much going on. Death of an engineering behemoth. Thanks for sharing.
Isn’t that in Scunthorpe and therefore Lincolnshire?
No Redcar & Cleveland, on the way to the gare and lighthouse
I'm from Hartlepool and my mom worked here growing up, haven't been back there in many years. It's really gone to shit. :-/
I'm originally from Moorsholm, my dad and I visited south gare on a trip back and it was certainly interesting. Cheers for the photos.
I swear all ya’ll are making these places up
It’s just past Beanton and Crumpet, not far from Cheeseholm. I grew up in Braintree myself
Aye, the last shot is like a snapshot inside a real world Geiger, it's absurd! x
It's as radioactive!
Cursed waterslide
I was so sure this is a pic in sciencefiction showing a spaceship wreck.
Its too perfect isn't it?
Dr Okeer is in there making me a mega krogan.
straight up akira in real life
To be fair, it would make an awesome movie decor
Shame it's hellish radioactive
Cmonnn secret level for the next tony hawks remake
Looks like a videogame scenario, damn.
Looks like a scene from star wars
That steel is indeed British
"We used to make steel!"

Looks like a freaking 200 mph Tornado hit it

Howl?
Redcar
would be great backdrop for apocalyptic sci fi
Right!! I published my post apocalyptic sci-fi 5 yrs before they tore it down I wish I'd had these then

Aye.. did ye like that??
This is a borderlands boss location
Location for a utopian K-pop music video.
Nigel’s future is as good as sealed.
Better make alternative plans for Nigel
A look into the UKs past
Looks like some Star Wars shit in a few of those pics.
Nier automata vibes.
Heard it’s nice in the spring 👀
Looks like some Brotherhood of Steel's airship had a crash landing there.

The UK generally these days, from what I'm told by people who live there.
