ST0686 : Cwm Coke

near to Beddau, Rhondda Cynon Taff/Rhondda Cynon Taf, Great Britain

Cwm Coke

This shows the main coke oven battery. The bunker is on the left and feeds into a larry car (visible to the left of the pipe bridge over the centre of the barry) and this feeds the ovens from above. They are emptied horizontally by a pushing machine on the same side as the photographer with the coke being expelled on the far side. The ovens are externally fired and the chimney serves the battery. The three steel chimneys to the right are on the site boiler house.
