Buffers at the End of Sowerby Bridge Coal Drops

Taken in April 2014, the Sowerby Bridge Coal Drops provided the town with the delivery of a vital heating and cooking resource until the mid 1970's. Once they had ceased to be used the were left to decline until a couple of years after this picture was taken and all the wood beams and top railings were removed. There had been a plan to build housing in the coal drops but this never happened and it is now a storage yard for a builders merchant. www.colingreenphotography.co.uk
