Description
The coal drops at Halifax Station Goods Yard were built in 1874 for the Ovenden and Halifax Junction Railway Company. Constructed from rock-faced ashlar, the structure features 15 wooden bunkers, each supported by stone piers. To the north, there is an open shed, and beyond it, a battered wall topped with a parapet. These coal drops are integrated into the sloping hillside. Each wooden bunker is equipped with two metal doors that are raised using an iron ratchet geared pulley system. This site represents a rare and large-scale example of railway coal drops.
