EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Iron Pyramid on Southbank, Middlesbrough during the 1970s. The Iron Pyramid, an iconic landmark of Middlesbrough's industrial heritage, was a silo used for storing iron ore. Constructed in the late 1950s, it was a striking addition to the Teeside skyline and a symbol of the town's thriving heavy industry. The photograph, taken in the 1970s, offers a glimpse into a bygone era. The Iron Pyramid stands tall against a backdrop of grey skies, with the Tees River flowing gently in the foreground. The image is filled with a sense of history and nostalgia, as the Pyramid, now dismantled, is a reminder of Middlesbrough's industrial past. The photograph also highlights the contrast between the natural and industrial elements of the town. The Tees River, a source of life and sustenance, flows alongside the man-made structure, emphasizing the interconnectedness of nature and industry in Middlesbrough's history. The Iron Pyramid was a testament to the town's industrial prowess and resilience. It represented the hard work and determination of the people of Middlesbrough, who built and operated the heavy industries that powered the town's economy. The Pyramid's demise marked the end of an era, as Middlesbrough began to shift towards a more diverse and service-based economy. This photograph is a valuable historical record of Middlesbrough's industrial past and serves as a reminder of the town's rich history and heritage. It is a testament to the importance of preserving and celebrating our industrial heritage, and the role it plays in shaping our identity as a community.
