The demise of steel-making plants in the wake of China's dumping of surplus steel reminds me of the closure of steel making capacity close to where I lived in the second half of last century.
I remember steel being made at Stanton, Staveley, Renishaw, Clay Cross and Sheepbridge. All vanished along with associated railways, coal mines, coking plants, foundries and rolling mills.
