Seems that anyone who's anyone has been out taking photos of this visitor to the giant Scunthorpe Steelworks - an equally giant crane, ready to dismantle and refit one of the blast furnaces at the works later in the spring.
A view of the middle part of the steelworks at Scunthorpe in the UK. The plant goes on for a few miles in either direction from this photo and is probably half the size of the town it belongs to.
This was on an early March evening, just as the sun was going down. The houses in the foreground are actually quite a way form the works, it's just the perspective that makes them look this close.
What do they have in common?
I didn't hear the full article yesterday, but I understand these three cities and towns were announced as the three most polluted locations in the U.K. There are obvious signs of pollution as seen here in this Scunthorpe steel work's view but Glasgow and London don't have a heavy industry presence so pollution must take originate from less obvious sources, traffic being a likely contender.
I do wonder how such a survey would have looked thirty or forty years ago. It wouldn't surprise me to hear than most of Britain belched out more muck than these three do today.

Another view I took of the Bus Station, from the (now also demolished) multi-storey car park - this time in April 1984, which shows the houses on Fenton Street, where a new multi-storey car park now stands. It compares nicely with the shot I took four and a half years later www.flickr.com/photos/40972435@N08/7140320523/in/photolis...
Sadly I didn't make a note of which vehicles were in the shot, but the two National coaches would almost certainly have been 1441, and 1442, while the back end of the Atlantean if definitely ex Devon General 'Sea Dog' Class 2353 928 GTA, which had been acquired the previous October, and just been painted as 'The Sealiner' ready entering service at Skegness a month after this shot was taken.
