These pusher tugs and barges were originally built by Richard Dunston of Thorne for transporting coal from Hatfield Main pit at Stainforth to the newly completed power station at Ferry Bridge as i worked on the original ones , its nice to see they havent been scrapped and are still doing a good days work after approx 40 years.
