The blaze tore through two empty buildings on Clifford Street, Redcar, just after midnight yesetrday.

Eight sets of breathing apparatus, two hose reel jets and positive pressure ventilation van were required in order to extinguish the fire.

It's been announced that major redevelopment work could see Steel House at Redcar's former steelworks site completely transformed.

The Tees Valley Combined Authority have released the first pictures of how the imposing building could look in the future.

Once home to British Steel's Teesside headquarters, the 220,000sq ft of redundant office space will be completely redeveloped under plans put forward for the huge industrial site, which is now known as Teesworks.

It will become the base for development for all 4,500-acres of the UK’s largest industrial zone.

Lower floors will provide services for people who work on the redevelopment of the former SSI steelworks, and will include a creche, coffee shop and gym, with upper floors providing office space.

It will also be home to a heritage centre for the site, celebrating the 170 years of iron and steelmaking on Teesside.
