The Esk Valley Line (railway) runs just above the masonry of the two compartments seen right of centre in the image. The coal cells, more usually known as coal drops, were storage facilities for coal which would be loaded from trucks on the railway then discharged into waggons below for delivery. The area below the coal cells is now in use as a car park.
