LizzieM 9,497 Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Johnno, I've got a photograph of me and a friend in Netherfield with that very same concrete thing in the background. As a little girl I thought it looked like a monster. I wondered what happened to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johnno 45 Posted April 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 it was blown up watched go from my bed window...... im sure it was some sort of a hopper for coal some one will tell us Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 It was a locomotive coal filler, and nicknamed The Cenotaph. Every big engine shed one. The locos would pass underneath, and when in position, the coal would come down the shute and fill the tender. The structure was loaded by raising the coal trucks and then tipping the contents in to the holder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
