Ive posted much recently as been busy exploring , went here with fazy djbinks and uw,



Cwm coke works opened in 1958. It was designed to centralise and maintain the production of South Wales foundry coke. The coal mined at Cwm was very suitable for foundry coke given its low sulphur content. Cwm Colliery was closed by the NCB in 1986 and the coke works ceased production in June 2002.

Excellent pics mate, it's a fantastic place isn't it? We ran out of time the last time we were there as had to drive back up to Derbyshire and pick up my youngest. We need to go back the next time we're down at Pauls. i can see from your pics we've missed quite a lot, even though we were there for hours lol.

Were the shunters still there? one was on it's side when we visited.

Cheers,

:) Sal
 
Great stuff Mate, this is one place I need to visit.
 
Great pics, nice to see it's still there.

Did you manage to get up the far end to the repair workshops?

There was a yellow MG wedged in the doorway of one of the rooms and a large piñata on the table inside.
