Notes
  • Significance: The Thomas Coke By-product Works is possibly the finest intact early twentieth century by-product coke works available for interpretation. The construction of the Koppers-Becker coke ovens at Thomas in 1925 marked the end in the process to convert from beehive coking ovens to by-product recover coking in the Birmingham Industrial District. Thus, the site represents the modern method of extracting by-products from the coking process and using them to make industrial chemicals such as coal gas, tar, ammonia, light oil and naphthalene. The coke was used to fuel the Thomas Company's blast furnaces.
