Pushing coke into the coke car at the South Bank coke ovens, Middlesbrough. This was the second coke oven plant at South Bank and consisted of 88 ovens split into two batteries of 44. The plant was the first in Britain to have chambers exceeding 5 metres in height and was built by Gibbons Wilputte in 1971-2. The whole site has recently been demolished.

Coke ovens and coke car at the mini cokeworks outside Hegang in Heilongjiang Province, China. This was fairly newly built when I visited in 2005 and yet seems to have been demolished on the latest aerial images. Industry moves on fast in China! I was waved in to take photos this time but when I returned in 2008 the whole place was locked down tight with big fences and security guards.
