Description
B&W negative copied in 1990 from official albums then held at Grangemouth refinery.
This view shows a belt conveyor transporting shale from the shale breaker to the top of the retort. In all previous shale oil works cable-hauled hutches fulfilled this function. The old wooden barrel (used for storage?) provides a link with the earlier days of the industry.
