  Now all eyes are on Toyota, the last man standing. Wonder what Jeff Kennet makes of their chances.

  So, what does it look like this Post-industrial landscape?
  One of the stops on the recent Bruno Taut Institute Tour of Post-industrial North America was Sydney, Nova Scotia. The other Sydney, once the centre of Canada's steel industry, then the site of the Sydney Tar Ponds, North America's most polluted post-industrial site, which was subject to a lengthy and expensive remediation and is now embracing the cruise based tourism industry.
  They lost a steel plant and gained the biggest Ceilidh Fiddle in the World

  Have just visited a historic local post-industrial landscape. The remnants of the Victorian iron ore mining and smelting industry which existed at Lal Lal between 1874 and 1884 as the Lal Lal Iron Company.
