About Blackhill
- Blackhill is closely associated with the Consett steelworks, which was established in 1840 and grew to become one of the most important steel manufacturing facilities in Britain, producing steel for some of the most famous engineering projects of the Victorian era, including the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Tyne Bridge. The closure of the steelworks in 1980, which resulted in the loss of over 3,500 jobs, was one of the most devastating industrial closures in the north-east of England and had a profound effect on the communities of Consett and Blackhill. The Derwent Walk Country Park, which follows the line of a former railway through the Derwent Valley, is one of the most popular walking and cycling routes in County Durham.
