Death of a blast furnace

Not sure whether the local council has removed the remains. This was one of the blast furnaces that had full production in the early 1900s. Shortly after these photos were taken, the whole area was fenced off with no close access. As you can see it has been reclaimed by nature to a large extent, making for interesting subject matter. The last photo is a reverse shot of the final slag pulled from the furnace. The blast furnace is located adjacent to the town of Lithgow, NSW.
