Description
The Railway Coal Chutes and Tramway with Walls and Gates, built in 1900, was constructed by the London & North Western Railway for the Huddersfield Corporation Tramways. This structure features forty coal chutes or drops made of timber, iron, and blue engineering brick with ashlar dressings.
A rubble stone boundary wall surrounds the area and includes two broad gateways, each flanked by two square gate-piers that are topped with pyramidal ashlar caps. Curved rubble stone retaining walls on either side rise to the height of the chutes, with single tall square stone piers at each corner.
The forty coal chutes are each separated by solid blue brick piers that have ashlar banding. The timber structure and top decking support iron chutes, which are operated by visible cogs and gearing.
