Does anyone have any ideas about this? Was it built for the boiler? Or does it date from 1906? What was its purpose? A ventilation shaft? Why so low when the shale mine is located much higher? Was there a previous mine at that level? Any ideas or answers most appreciated!
The plant was closed in 1952 and whilst much of the old buildings have been demolished, there is still a great deal of remains of the plant still evident.
There is a regular stream of people coming to view the works on a special tour running on Saturday afternoons at 02:00 pm. For details go the Tour page.
