This haunting black and white aerial image captures the skeletal remains of Steetley Pier reaching starkly into the North Sea. Once part of the Steetley Magnesite works in Hartlepool, the pier was originally constructed to transport seawater inland for industrial processing. Now abandoned and weathered by decades of tide and storm, its rusting form stretches into the distance, evoking a powerful sense of solitude and industrial decay.
The monochrome treatment intensifies the drama of the scene, highlighting the linear geometry of the pier against the moody seascape. A bold and striking piece that speaks to the forgotten industrial past of the North East coastline.
