ORIGINAL CONTENT: “Blast Furnace Granulated Slag” - Part of a larger series I did on heavy industry related ghost signs in the Steel Valley. Link to full post in FB comments. Long gone Brier Hill Slag signage in front of the former Youngstown Sheet & Tube office building. I took this photo the day they smacked the offices with the wrecking ball. Should have come back with a grinder for the sign. Wonder where it wound up. #therustjungle #steelvalley #youngstown #ghostsign #brierhill #youngstownsheetandtube (at Itam Post 12) https://www.instagram.com/therustjungle/p/BvEuATenzGM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ol3lnm1hmc7b

It was a #pizza kind of night. Cold and rainy. So I ordered the best pizza in the state of #Ohio, Wedgewood Pizza! 1. House special – #pepperoni and #greenpeppers 2. #BrierHill – local favorite. Green Peppers and #Romano #cheese (at Wedgewood Pizza- Austintown) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5QGfJGhhhO/?igshid=19cm5ndhzhoi3

ORIGINAL CONTENT: Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. Brier Hill Works circa 2012. I believe I was standing in the area where the Grace furnace once was when I took this. I’m guessing the railroad ties stacked in the foreground were from the in plant railroads. In the background is Vallourec Steel (V&M Star Steel at that time). The building with the sign on it was the Sheet & Tube open hearth. My uncle told me how he got shipped up here from the Campbell Works during a shutdown one summer. Said he ended up on a labor gang relining the OH furnaces. It was so hot in the furnaces they had to strap wooden clogs to their boots so they wouldn’t melt standing on the floor. Sounded like a fun job to do in August. #therustjungle #steelmill #steelvalley #youngstownsheetandtube #brierhill #youngstown (at Itam Post 12) https://www.instagram.com/p/Byp_eGhB3YJ/?igshid=q62cmole7i2n
