All long since gone. Only part of the boiler house is visibble and by this date the coal fired boilers were out of use and steam was being raised in a couple of boilers converted to burn oil. The oil was supplied by gravity from the tank seen at some elevation on the right hand edge of the photograph. This tank was a converted boiler obtained from another pit.
