Coke To Coke

Between 1986 and 1989, photographer Peter Fryer and writer Graeme Rigby documented the closure of Derwenthaugh Coke Works and the rise of the nearby Metro Centre in Gateshead. The cokeworks, on the south bank of the River Tyne, was one of the early closures in the wake of the 1984–85 Miners’ Strike. Just a few miles away, on the site of a newly designated Enterprise Zone, construction was under way on the UK’s first out-of-town shopping mall.
