Now the steel works is gone, there’s not much left of our manufacturing heritage in Workington. Being the environmentally conscious bunch that we were in the past hundred years or so, we decided the best thing to do would be to dump the byproducts of steel making along the coastline. Not the best idea, but as the waves and wind and weather have had their time to work, they have left some interesting structures behind.
Maybe to make up for how terrible we were in the last century, we now have a coast of windmills, which I guess is okay, too.
