  1. 2pm on a Tuesday won't suit most, but the chimneys will be coming down then.

    Authorities reckon there are no decent viewpoints - I would suggest the sea wall running from Musselburgh would disagree...

    You sure it's the chimneys?

    Both structures weigh in the region of 120 tonnes, with Coal Tower 2 being 25 metres tall and the coalfield unloading hopper’ 22 metres around 22 metres high.

    The coal store is the bit behind the substation building on the south side of the road, which is actually very well landscaped and pretty hard to see from anywhere.
