About Consett
- The Consett steelworks, which operated from 1840 to 1980, was at its peak one of the largest integrated steelworks in Europe, employing over 5,000 workers and producing steel for railways, bridges, and ships across the world. The works produced the steel for Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Golden Gate Bridge. When the steelworks closed in September 1980, it was one of the most devastating industrial closures in post-war Britain, with unemployment in the town rising to over 30 per cent almost overnight. The site has since been transformed into a retail park and housing development, and the town has reinvented itself as a service and retail centre.
