Likewise.I remember growing up in Corby in the 70s, British Steel pretty much engulfed the whole town and surrounding area, providing thousands upon thousands of jobs. Crying shame what's happened.
I worked at British Steel in British West Hartlepool (South Durham Works) A place where many thousands of Hartlepudlians down the years have earned a living.
I started there after leaving school in the 1970's and I loved every minute of my time there.
I worked there for 6 years and for a further 4 years off and on as a contractor.
I learned to operate different machines and learned new skills, eventually working my way up the ladder to become a shot blaster.
My late Dad worked at the same place as me, as a crane driver and worked there until he eventually retired.
Once upon a time, getting a job at British Steel was considered to be a job for life, though sadly nowadays, a job for life, seems to be very much a thing of the past.
