The former SSI Steel making plant on February 6, 2017 in Redcar, United Kingdom. The SSI steel making plant at Redcar was mothballed in 2015, which impacted heavily on the local economy, struggling after the loss of around 3000 jobs, from both the site and the supply chain. The borough of Redcar and Cleveland voted to leave the European Union by 66.2%. Much of the North East of the United Kingdon voted to leave the European Union including Sunderland, Gateshead, Darlington, Durham, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Stockton, Redcar and Cleveland, North Tyneside and South Tyneside, and Northumberland. Newcastle was the only borough to vote to remain, though by a narrow margin, which was likely due to its large student population and dependency on EU funding. (Photo by Dan Kitwood/Getty Images)
