The four Queens
Scunthorpe Steelwork's four blast furnaces. The blast furnaces are, closest, Queen Victoria (1954), Queen Anne (1954), Queen Mary (1938) and Queen Bess (1938). These furnaces were built for the Appleby Frodingham Steel Company, part of the United Steels Company. This works formed the basis for the current Tata plant in Scunthorpe. Although considerably re-built over the years all four furnaces are still standing and serviceable, though all four have not been in blast together for some time.
