After reading Wolfisms cracking report on Cwm I decided to have a trawl around my drives for some coke oven related shots. These are from Scunny, there's 2 coke ovens here - Appleby and Dawes Lane which is the most modern coking plant in Europe.


Here's both the quenchers in operation - Dawes Lane on the left:

These are best seen on a cold still day when the steam rises for miles into the sky.


This is Dawes Lane, the silos are part of the coal handling plant:

A closer view of Appleby - this is the coke car as mentioned in Wolfisms report:

Monckton Coking plant is in Royston near Barnsley, and is proper old school hardcore filthy industry :):):)

It's also right by the side of the road, making photography very easy:)
