NCB-NSCR022a-TH.163V-1966, ‘No.7’, (of South Yorkshire Chemical Works Ltd, Parkgate), at Mangham Road Level Crossing, Parkgate, (Fitzwilliam Arms P.H. beyond)-14-03-1969-A
Locomotive, ‘No.7’, of the South Yorkshire Chemical Works Limited, and built by Thomas Hill (Rotherham) Limited, Vanguard Works, Kilnhurst, to Works No.163V, in 1966, is seen here, at the Mangham Road Level Crossing, Parkgate where the South Yorkshire Chemical Works Limited siding complex was situated, on 14/03/1969.
The South Yorkshire Chemical Works Limited owned and operated a substantial coke-oven and associated chemical works and by-products plant, which was located in Parkgate, Rotherham. It produced both, domestic and industrial grades of coke. The nearby New Stubbin Colliery, at Rawmarsh was one of the principle suppliers of the coal used in the carbonisation and subsequent by-product extraction and refining processes.
New Stubbin Colliery, Rawmarsh, was located at the end of a National Coal Board, branch-line, which ran northwards, from the British Railways, (ex-London, Midland and Scottish Railway), main-line south-west of Parkgate and Rawmarsh Station, and from the British Railways, (ex-London, North Eastern Railway), immediately west of Rotherham Road Station. At Parkgate, near Rotherham, the branch-line connected with the siding complexes of the Parkgate Iron and Steel Company Limited, and with the siding complexes of South Yorkshire Chemical Works Limited. Coal from the New Stubbin Colliery was taken by both of these enterprises, whose siding complexes were situated on either side of Mangham Road, Parkgate, which was crossed by the railway, by way of an un-gated level crossing.
