Coal Mining

SUMMARY

This coal processing facility serviced various opencast coal sites in the lower Aire valley providing a means to screen, size and blend coals of different qualities to meet evermore exacting unified specification of coal fired powerstations. The plant was built at the side of the Aire and Calder Navigation to load "tom pudding" barge sets to transport coal to Ferrybridge Power Station.
