EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the 1960s, showcasing a specially designed coal-fired boiler house in Edith Avenue Estate, located in Washington New Town.

The image captures three towering boilers that were used to generate heat using a staggering 3,000 tons of coal annually. The scale of this operation is truly remarkable and speaks volumes about the dedication put into providing comfortable living conditions for the residents. In an era where coal was widely used as a primary source of energy, this photograph serves as a reminder of how different our methods of heating have become over time. It also highlights the advancements made in infrastructure development during that period.
