On research of the area of South Bank and including Dorman Long,for a book I am writing, I thought you would like to know that Bolckow Vaughan initially, then Dorman Long, was responsible for the steel for the Transporter and Newport(both Middlesbrough) and Sydney Harbour Australia Bridges.Also the Otto Beit Suspension bridge over the Zambezi, Northern Rhodesia(as was), the Bankok Memorial Bridge, Siam(as was), the Limpopo Bridge, South Africa, The Government Offices, Whitehall Gardens in London amongst many.Dorman Long had officesthroughout the world e.g Paraguay, New Zealand, Palastine, Uganda, Pakistan to name but a few. Dorman Long was world renowned as the best.The original bell for Big Benat the Palace of Westminsterin London was cast locally too, in Norton Iron Works in 1856!Did you also know that almost all of London's water piping was made from Teesside cast iron!
Sometimes it isn't just what you see!!    AWESOME!!!
