Tondu Ironworks Beehive Coke Ovens
Posted by Philip (South Wales, United Kingdom) on 7 May 2012 in Business & Industry.
These are situated behind the blowing engine house on a banked area. These are fascinating but not the best things to photograph. The site has been badly overgrown with Japanese Knotweed although the council have obviously done a great job clearing it away.
There are 3 rows of these structures and it must have been a very industrial (and hot!) place when in use.
Any tips or constructive criticism are welcome.
My photos can also be found on FLICKR.
I appreciate all your comments, thank you so much. I do read all the comments and will try to answer any questions you have.
