Part 3 of our quest to visit all the SSI sites visited with @-Raz-, @Butters and a none member who comes a lot but doesn't post on any forums 
History points nicked off @The Amateur Wanderer, ta mate
Lackenby was opened to production in 1953 as a replacement for the aging Dorman Long Steel works nearby. The Dorman Long Britannia works closed in 1971 and all but gone by 1972.
By September 2015 it seemed clear that the end was nigh for the plant, as I type the decommissioning of the once great plant takes place.
The Explore;
It all started as normal, an hour or so's ride up and a cold walk to the entry point guided by Raz and soon we were making a sprint across the soggy uneven floor towards the main entrance. bit of climbing and we were 90 meters up and Shaun who isn't so good with heights was getting uncomfortable. So we did what any good friends would do, laughed and went closer to the edge. Think the highlights for me were the control rooms and the sheer size of the place.
On with the photos;

Thanks for looking
