  • Do you know if there were ever any fatal accidents on the Coke Works site??

  • I was on the sticker squad digging stickers out that was a job and a half most of us had a turn at that job great days at monkton might dig my film out soon

  • Still my favourite coke plant. I spent several nights at the gate to take photographs and got an invitation to visit the plant by the technical manager a few years ago. An unforgettable visit! Thanks to everyone working there!
