Summary edit
| Description |
English: Summerley beehive coke ovens Not the easiest subject to photograph because of the invasion of vegetation, but the snow on the ground allows something to be seen.
The lower area is the platform in front of the ovens, now partly covered in rubble where the brickwork of the ovens has collapsed. The thin diagonal white line running across the picture about three quarters of the way up is the top of the bank of ovens. There were two banks of 24 ovens, back to back, most of which appear to remain, making this probably the most extensive remaining set in the UK. The site is a Scheduled Ancient Monument, and although the citation suggests that they 'survive well', the continued degradation due to vegetation growth, including quite large trees means that this may not be the case for long. The ovens were built between 1871 and 1876 and remained in use until 1921. Their primary market was the specialist steel making industry in Sheffield. A close up view of the entrance arch to one of the ovens can be seen here https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1735333 . |
