We recently took a member of the comms team around the site during our night tour
We recently took a tour around the Scunthorpe site on a diesel pacer with the Appleby Frodingham Railway. This night tour gave a completely different view of the site as you can see in this video clip taken from the front seat. 🚆🌙 @AFRailway
We're helping british steel and the comms team display some of the historic artifacts and information about the site from our archive
Over the coming weeks we're going to be sharing with you some snippets from the archives in the form of a weekly #ThrowbackThursday post. Our first delve into the history books shows impressive icicles that had formed on the cooling tower at the Scunthorpe site in December 1978.
