Description: | Haig Colliery was sunk between 1914 and 1918 - even in wartime the nation needed fuel. The steam winding engine in No 5 engine house, seen here, was built by Bever Dorling & Co and installed in 1920. It was used to haul coal from the pit. The colliery closed in 1986 and many of its buildings were demolished. | Subjects: | Winding Engine Engine House Colliery Industry | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | Findlater, K | Identifier: | http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.u... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
