Willington A – Boilers

Willington ‘A’ boilers had a unique design and consisted of four ICL non- reheat corner fired boilers set in a square with two rows of Lopulco coal mills running through the middle. Another unusual feature of Willington `A’ was the partially enclosed boilers. The lower part of the boiler house extended to the top of the burners and enclosed the deaerators. The top of each boiler had separate enclosures covering everything on that level. This meant that working on sootblowers could be very pleasant in summer but extremely cold and hazardous in the depths of winter.
