All of the Grady Hall photos are tippers, but they also ran a lot of tankers with slurry I believe when the pits shut down, it was poured down the old mine shafts, from memory.

hiya,
Was it not the gunge from the coal washing sites that they carried and pumped down the old pit shafts i was under the impression that only stuff that was down the pits in the first place could be put back below ground, something to do with noxious materials finding it’s way into the water table, remember talking to one of their drivers in the boozer one night, we was’nt drunk, honest.
thanks harry long retired.
