A Most Interesting Coal Chute
There are two similar coal chutes in Goole Docks. This particular chute was designed to lift railway carriages loaded with coal or coke, the truck was then tipped and its contents slid down the chute into waiting ships. The other chute was designed to lift “Tom puddings” to be unloaded in a similar way. I’ll post a picture of that lift later.
The iconic water towers known as “salt and pepper” in the distance.
