This 42 tonne slag ladle was designed by Ashmore, Benson and Pease in Darlington. It operated at the Bessamer plant close by.
It was placed at the Business Centre in 2004 after being in storage at Kirkleatham for many years.

Great website. Glad I found it. I live in Ohio now, but was born and raised in New Marske. Would love to see pictures from there to quench my occasional home sickness. there’s lots of history from the old village, up Pontac road where the old railroad ran, right into errington woods where there are all kinds of relics of mining and WW2.
Thanks again for taking the time to put all these great places on the web!
Are you sure that the 42 tonne slag ladle was designed in Darlington by Ashmore Benson & Pease? Their design office was in Bowesfield Lane, Stockton as far as I know.
Thats what the info board says.
