EDITORS COMMENTS
The new coal stacker and reclaimer, showcased in this print from 1967, stands tall as a testament to the industrial prowess of Aberthaw A and Aberthaw B Power Station. Nestled along the picturesque coast between Barry and Llantwit Major, this 1500 mega watt powerhouse is an engineering marvel of its time. With its imposing presence against the backdrop of crashing waves, this state-of-the-art machinery revolutionized coal handling at the power station. Capable of stacking a staggering 2500 tons of coal per hour onto the towering coal stack, it ensured a steady supply for energy production. Equally impressive was its ability to reclaim up to 2000 tons of coal per hour from existing stockpiles, ensuring efficiency in fuel utilization. This photograph captures not only the technological advancements but also serves as a window into an era defined by rapid industrialization. The black-and-white tones evoke nostalgia for a time when coal was king and powered nations with its raw energy. Preserved by Knight's lens through Memory Lane Prints, this image invites us to reflect on our past while appreciating how far we have come in terms of cleaner and more sustainable sources of power generation. It serves as a reminder that progress is built upon foundations laid by visionaries who harnessed the mightiest forces nature had to offer.
