Fantastic look at what's left, great to see it all compiled like this. Cracking job

That's some epic report. Top notch stuff.

Very very cool report

Cheers guys

Most excellent reportage, mate. It’s clear you’ve put time and effort into this and it shows.
I can’t believe I never noticed the old sign at the bottom of the road at Cwm Coke works before (it’s the small things)!

Thanks appreciate that, it took ages! Yeah I'm guessing that sign has been sitting there for a long time

I like this style of post and there's more then enough you're missing for a part 2

Thanks, ahaha glad to hear it's out there, would like to add some more to this. Guessing you've seen a lot yourself?

I've not been to half of those sites , great report, thank you

Cheers! Big thanks to whoever moved it to Noteworthy Reports what an honour

That's very cool, great report - the Rubber Factory Ove Arup built was hailed as a marvel on modern concrete design when it was built, the fact it was listed and then flattened annoy me a little lol

Yeah tbh it should be illegal, wouldn't be allowed if a private company did it but the council seems to have been allowed. I get it probably took up a lot of space but it undermines the listing process

Great, really enjoyed that. The mug was an excellent find!

Quality reporting. Very comprehensive. Good mix of images. I like the fact that some are remembered via museums/ memorials, and so they should be. Great read.

Fantastic report, very in-depth and great imagery.

Really nice stuff.

The wagons seem to be a mix of Coal hoppers, car carriers and steel wagons.

Yes, I did a shot of gin out of it in the miners honour

Cheers! Yeah tbh nothing wrong with a museum, serves as a good introduction

Really nice stuff.
