EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the 1960s, showcasing a specially designed coal-fired boiler house in Edith Avenue Estate, located in Washington New Town. Serving an impressive 673 flats, this unit was responsible for supplying central heating and hot water to the entire estate. The image captures three towering boilers that were used to generate heat using a staggering 3,000 tons of coal annually. The scale of this operation is truly remarkable and speaks volumes about the dedication put into providing comfortable living conditions for the residents. In an era where coal was widely used as a primary source of energy, this photograph serves as a reminder of how different our methods of heating have become over time. It also highlights the advancements made in infrastructure development during that period. The architectural design of the boiler house is striking, with its imposing structure dominating the landscape. This visual testament showcases both functionality and efficiency while blending seamlessly with its surroundings in Tyne and Wear. As we reflect on this piece of history frozen in time, it's important to acknowledge how far we've come since then. Today's focus on sustainable energy sources has led us away from such reliance on fossil fuels like coal. Nevertheless, this print stands as a testament to an era when these structures played a vital role in keeping communities warm and comfortable throughout Washington New Town.
