But I won't let you guess what on earth the Aladdin tipple is: it's a building/structure once used to sort coal. It consists of a collecting building and three chutes, on which coal chunks of different sizes slid down to waiting railway wagons.
The tipple in Aladdin is one of the last still existing in the West.

My folks come from coal mining country, so I knew what a tipple is.  :)
