In this photograph captured in 1956, we witness the monumental task of lifting a coal conveyor bridge into position at the newly established Manvers coal preparation plant near Rotherham, South Yorkshire. This industrial marvel was destined to become Europe's largest plant dedicated to processing coal from the abundant South Yorkshire Coalfield. The image showcases a group of skilled engineers meticulously preparing for this Herculean feat. With determination etched on their faces, they work together to hoist the massive girder-like structure into place using heavy machinery and sheer manpower.
