Despite being known for its heavy industry, there is only one foundry left in Middlesbrough.

William Lane Foundry has been struggling for orders in recent years but 24-year-old Sam is hopeful that will change.

He is the foundry’s youngest team member and is determined to keep the skills alive and pass them on to future generations.
