Redcar, Cleveland, UK, 16th March 2021. People walking and playing football on the beach at Redcar, Cleveland, UK, as the Sun sets behind the Teesside Steelworks. The Redcar site once contained the largest blast furnace in Europe. Due to the Chinese government flooding the world market with cheap subsidised steel, British steel became uneconomic. The Teesside site closed in 2015. Credit: Paul Thompson/Alamy Live News.
