Not a lot left of this place, only the listed Coal Slime Thickener.
Used to look like this.

Excellent pics mate, I like it here. Great to see the old pics too of how the place used to look. Would have loved to have seen it as it was then.

Sheep took a few of us here last feb, was great. Still want to climb up and have a look at the top part now. Did you have the horses and ponies following you around?

Cheers,

Sal

Yep, had the pony routine. There's some nice old engines a mile further north if you're in the area again.

Wow, it looks a lot different to when we visited.
Sal, it was a year ago last Feb! Time flies, and all that!
Loved this structure, but I'd never been so cold in my life...two-inch thick block of ice on the pony's water trough at midday!
Great to see it again and lovely pics, Engineer.
