COAL BUNKER
Due to the global decline in the demand for coke, Royston coking plant near Barnsley ceased production in 2014.
Coke has been produced here since c.1884, however, the remaining structures have now largely been demolished and yet, for the time being, the main coal bunker appears to have avoided being removed.
