Scoria bricks are one of York’s quiet Victorian success stories. First produced in Teesside in the late 1860s, they were made by recycling waste slag from the blast furnaces of the iron industry. The molten by-product was poured into moulds, cooled and hardened into bricks that proved tougher than traditional paving. Their blue-grey colour came from minerals in the slag, giving the streets they paved a distinctive sheen. Waterproof, frost-proof and able to withstand heavy loads, they were laid in back lanes, street gutters and around York’s railway station. They were cheap, durable and made from a material that would otherwise have been discarded, making them an early example of large-scale industrial recycling. Around 16 miles of back lanes remain in York today, with roughly a third still surfaced in scoria bricks. They survive in places like Holgate, Acomb, Fulford, The Groves and South Bank, where their pattern and colour catch the light on wet days. No longer made, they are part of the city’s industrial heritage and a reminder that sustainability is not a modern idea, but one the Victorians embraced over 150 years ago.

From the "York, UK" page on Facebook, an example of Victorian sustainability and recycling that proves these are not modern concepts. Read all about it in the Alt-Tex, how slag waste from blast furnaces was recycled to pave back alleys that lasted centuries. #Recycle #Stainability #Reuse

Every key decision feels like "mining" through a global mineral supply chain minefield 💣—choosing suppliers, adjusting supply chain strategies could trigger regulatory investigations or supply chain disruptions.
