and a town built on industry. The iron ore deposits in the vicinity
of nearby Shotley encouraged the growth of Consett. Once known
as `Berry Edge', Consett began to grow after the finding of the
Consett Iron and Steel works here in 1837. The Consett steel
works were an industrial giant which once had iron interests
in Germany and Spain. The works dominated the local skyline until
their closure in 1980. Consett &
