Summary

Description
English: The coking plant at Orgreave, South Yorkshire, in 1989. The huge cloud of water vapour is a result of a periodic quench. Coke is made anaerobically and is incandescent when pushed out. It must be rapidly quenched by water sprays or it will self-combust in the air. This quenching is dramatic as can be clearly seen.
