blast furnaces
Massive ore cookers
Blast furnaces is the plural of blast furnace, a tall industrial structure used to smelt iron ore into pig iron.
The name comes from the blast of hot air forced through the furnace to intensify combustion.
These massive structures dominated industrial landscapes from the 19th century onward: The old blast furnaces stood silent after the mill closed.
