Highlights
Model 027_Dorman Long Tower – Miniature Concrete Model
Hand-cast in fine concrete. Shaped by memory.
Some buildings carry the weight of the industry they served. The Dorman Long Tower in Middlesbrough was one of the last surviving remnants of the town’s steelmaking heritage. Built in the 1950s as part of the coal-handling system for the steelworks, its tall concrete form stood as a landmark on the skyline long after the works themselves had gone. Demolished in 2021 despite calls for preservation, it remains a powerful symbol of the region’s industrial past.
This model preserves its distinctive form. The vertical proportions, the open framework, the blunt industrial strength which all needed to be present. Casting it in miniature was about more than getting the shape right; it was about keeping its presence alive.
A small cast of a lost giant of the Teesside skyline.
Features
• Solid cast concrete, individually hand-poured
• 8cm high, 6cm wide, 3cm deep (approx)
• Laser-etched cork base with building name
• Comes gift-boxed for the perfect concrete gift
• Designed, modelled, and finished in the UK
Made for those who worked beneath it, drove past it daily, or fought for its survival.
This model is a tactile memory of Middlesbrough’s steelmaking story and one that deserved to be remembered.

Brief Overview:
The Dorman Long Tower was constructed as part of the coal-handling plant for the Redcar steelworks. Standing 56 metres tall, its concrete frame and industrial functionality made it a recognisable feature of Teesside’s skyline. Despite heritage listing being briefly granted, it was demolished in 2021, sparking widespread local protest.
Please note:
My concrete sculptures are individually hand cast in solid concrete. This means that each piece will have distinctive markings and minor blemishes due to air bubbles in the concrete. This is a natural part of the material and will mean that no two pieces are ever exactly the same.

What buyers say, summarized by AI: Looks great Great quality Perfect gift Well packaged
A beautifully crafted piece, very evocative.
.Great build, wonderfully packaged, and presented. A beautiful reminder of the loved building I travelled past every day for 30 years
I found this on line and my Grandad used to work at Dorman Long so wanted to get one of these for me and my brothers. They are made to order so the seller let's you know how long it will take for you to receive it once you've placed the order. I'd check with him first if you need it by a particular date just to be sure. The model is lovely and really well boxed and packaged to give as a gift.
A very well-received Christmas gift!
