Coal Drops, Halifax Station Goods Yard - Halifax

Coal drops at Halifax Goods Yard, built in 1874 for the Ovenden and Halifax Junction Railway. This is a rare and large scale example of railway coal drops. Rock-faced ashlar piers support fifteen wooden bunkers. Geared pulley systems originally operated iron ratchets to raise moveable doors, now absent. Photo. June 2000.
