ST0686 : Cwm Coke Works
near to Beddau, Rhondda Cynon Taff/Rhondda Cynon Taf, Great Britain

Cwm Coke Works
A good view of this derelict works. The coal handling plant is on the left with conveyors to the big bunker on top of the battery - this is to the immediate right of the chimney. Coke was ejected to the left of the battery and quenched under the white cylindrical concrete quench tower (I've never seen one like that!). One of the coke car locomotives (painted blue) is lying on its side in front of the quench tower. To the immediate right of the big bunker is the area where the pushing machines operated. The coke oven gas pipes can also be seen leaving the battery. On the right is the gas scrubbing and byproduct recovery area. There is also one of two wooden cooling towers that are actually listed buildings.
