*** HISTORIC REDCAR BLAST FURNACE SUCCESSFULLY DEMOLISHED ***
The historic Redcar Blast Furnace has been successfully demolished.
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 today.
Clean up operations at the site will now continue into next year.
The four stoves which heated the blast furnace will be brought down in a separate demolition in the coming month.
The Blast Furnace was shut down for the final time in 2015 with the loss of more than 2,000 jobs. But from this came of the creation of the Mayoral Development Corporation on 4,500 acres south of the River Tees in 2017, which was relaunched as Teesworks in 2020.
The Blast Furnace was commissioned in 1979 and could produce 10,000 tonnes of iron a day. Former RBF workers were among those watching on as the structures came down.
