Cwm Coke - probable booster house

Based on the activities of the urban explorers I believe this is the booster house with reciprocating compressors delivering the gas to the holders and distribution system. Image is a similar building at the defunct Orgreave Coke Works. The exhauster house is presumably back closer to the battery but from the urban explorer sites I suspect it has been stripped. Image shows an exhauster house in the CPL plant at Hawthorn.
