 Low-lying land used for dumping power station ash and waste from B C L.
All the low-lands were eventually built on as the ground level was raised and the factory became busier. |

| Coal drops. It is difficult to see how the coal was moved into the power station. |

The coal was brought in via the Midland railway sidings at Spondon station and the reception sidings within the British Celanese site. British Celanese originally built, and owned,the power station before selling it to the Nottingham and Derby Power Company. (Enter Spondon or British Celanese into the search box for more). |

| Two foot, narrow gauge track from the boiler house to the ash tip. Probably portable track that could be easily moved as the ash heap became 'full'. Power station ash soon moved from being waste product to being the raw material for building blocks. |

Spondon power station ash was used to infill the lower level land within the British Celanese factory site. This was then built on. |
