Details

The Micklefield Coal & Lime Company, based in Micklefield near Leeds, West Yorkshire, operated a substantial fleet of wooden-bodied open wagons to transport coal from the surrounding pits. These wagons carried coal to the company’s distribution and unloading points, where it was transferred for onward delivery by road. Serving the local and regional markets, the company’s fleet was a familiar sight on the West Yorkshire rail network, illustrating the vital role of private owner wagons in linking coalfields to customers and supporting Britain’s industrial and domestic coal distribution throughout the mid-20th century.
