Steelmaker Corus has announced today that it will end production at its Teesside Cast Products factory, putting 1,700 people out of work.
It had been announced in May that the 150-year-old Redcar plant was to be mothballed, an announcement that brought about a demonstration through the streets of Redcar to raise awareness and began a fight for the survival of the factory.
The news of this closure today will devastate many families from the region who have employment with the factory.
Below is my multimedia slideshow I produced during the demonstration march in Redcar.
