Redcar Coke Ovens 01.08.2021

The former Coke Ovens at Redcar Works; part of the now mothablled SSI Steel Works, and in its final months of demolition.
Coke is a grey, hard, and porous fuel with a high carbon content and few impurities, made by heating coal or oil in the absence of air. It is an important industrial product, used mainly in iron ore smelting.

I worked for Woodall Duckham in 1974-1976, building the By-Products plant, including the gas holder. Is all of this completely gone now?

No.. Its still there, but the mechanical vultures are circling their prey.

It will be sad to see the iconic landscape change, hope you can get the demolition on video.
