47) Tata Steelworks


A few years ago a new road was opened to enable traffic for the steelworks, Sandfields and the docks to avoid having to drive through the town. This road also provides the best close up vantage points of the steelworks. This sketch shows the tops of the blast furnaces, which are in their own way just as iconic structures for the town as are the three cranes in the docks. This is the only sketch so far in which I’ve used both sepia and black pens.
