The historic Redcar Blast Furnace has been demolished.
The Blast Furnace was commissioned in 1979 and could produce 10,000 tonnes of iron a day and it was shut down for the final time in 2015.
Using 175kg of explosives, teams from Thompsons of Prudhoe brought down the Casting Houses, the Dust Catcher, Charge Conveyors and the Blast Furnace at the Redcar Blast Furnace at 9am on Wednesday. Former RBF workers were among those watching on as the structures came down.
