Birmingham's finest urban relic: The old coke plant
Birmingham's finest urban relic: The old coke plant
Climbing up the see-through stairs on the way up the side of the coke oven was a rush that was equaled minutes later as we descended the conveyor shafts down over 100 feet to the ground below. Watching pieces of our stairs make the long fall was sobering.

Historically, the intricacy of old fashioned- steel strapping is still the best compared to the modern ones now. It is done carefully without the benefits of the modern 20th century technologies. I wonder how steel strapping supplies was transported those days that even the preparation takes a long time just to start a new project. Everything was slow-paced that time, giving them more time not for preparation but to gather the greatest iron artist to collaborate for a project.
ReplyDeleteHistory records all of these, saying that even great wars failed to wipe out all those great and giant steel artworks.
