History of Consett Steelworks - Past and Present

Building Self-Belief presents our film about Consett Steelworks Past and Present. Go on a journey with Alan Swiinburne and Peter Shaw as they talk you through how Consett used to look when the steelworks dominated the landscape, and compare it to how it looks in 2025. Thank you everyone who has supported the project, in particular the National Heritage Lottery for their generous grant.
