As we face westward through the lens of the National Air Photograph Survey conducted by RAF on March 4th, 1950, an array of intriguing elements come into view. The towering chimney dominates the skyline, its billowing smoke hinting at the intense activity within. Surrounding it are rows upon rows of residential housing, providing shelter for those who toiled at this mighty ironworks. A sense of community is palpable as families create their lives amidst this industrious backdrop. In stark contrast to this vibrant scene lies a cemetery nearby - a poignant reminder that life and death coexist even in such dynamic environments.
