They had bottom-emptying doors suitable for discharging their loads at riverside staiths. They had been widely used for coal traffic since the days of the early waggonways, and until the early 1900s were also used by the ‘main line’ railway companies. On the Seaham system the standard chaldron had a tare weight of about 2½ tons and a capacity of four tons. Some of the Seaham chaldrons remained in use until the 1970s – it is thought that they were the very last in regular use anywhere in the country – though latterly they were used mainly as mobile rubbish skips.
