Abandoned Works in Hartlepool

The huge deserted site of Steetleys Magnesite works in Hartlepool, partly demolished and partly a huge adventure playground for the local kids. Hardly a fence to be found and definitely no security in sight.

Vast tanks, uneartly blue lagoons, a 200ft chimney, a pier.

View this on the map to see the vast scale of the place. Catch it before its demolished and probably turned into “luxury flats”

    I pass this frequently on the the train … Always wondered whether there was water inside the those huge cylinders! I once thought I’d caught a glimpse but couldn’t believe they’d just leave the water there, unprotected.

    This is a fantastic site, absolutely fascinating. Keep up the good work!
