I really miss the heats (every 30 - 40 minutes that would light up the sky at night from Newcastle Steelworks) and punchuated most of my life.
The cokeovens steam puffs are missed too.
But the coke, slag, iron ore ladden dew and the dust that was lifted when the wind blew , and the very bright light pollution I do not miss.
