Cokeworks Royston - February 2015

[-Raz-]

Was originally going to post a few pics in the comments on Fat Pandas report as I visited with him but had quite a few pics so thought i'd throw a report together!

Coke Manufacturing (Monckton)

Coke has been made on the Monckton site at Royston near Barnsley in South Yorkshire for over 130 years.

Until December 2014, Monckton was the only independent coke production plant in the UK, and was ranked as one of Europe’s leading producers of high-quality metallurgical coke.

On 12 December 2014, the Company confirmed that, with no significant improvement in market conditions or customer demand, Monckton was to close, with coke production ceasing during that month.

The Monckton plant is now being de-commissioned and this is expected to take approximately six months.

The gas from Monckton coke ovens is used in a combined heat and power plant that can generate up to 11 megawatts of electricity. Not only does this supply all the electricity needed on-site, we actually sell our surplus electricity to the national grid – enough to provide power for more than 1,000 homes.

Here's my take on this place

Thanks for looking :upu2:

I don't like big hights, therefore I prefer the otehr shots, in particular no. 3.

The mood resulting from the night shots is great!
