Dodworth Muckstack also known as Dodworth Slag Heap and Dodworth Spoil heap has been a dominant visual feature in the area for perhaps 100 years. Today it looks very different from what it did a couple of decades ago [or thereabouts]. Back then it was not clothed in greenery, it was higher and more pointed towards the top. At some point it 'slipped' across the road from Dodworth to Higham, and had to be pushed back, this was maybe in the late 1960's - and maybe about the time of the Aberfan Disaster in Wales.
Do you know anything about these observations?
Do you agree with them?
Can you offer an explanation as to why the stack collapsed across the road?.
Do you recall how high the old stack was at its peak?
