Description: | Haig Colliery was the last steam-wound colliery in the Cumberland coalfield and the engines were heavily used for 60 years. This double cylinder horizontal engine by Bever, Dorling, Bradford, 1914, lifted 1.5 tons of coal per wind with a 1100ft deep shaft. No 5 was the main drawing shaft until 1954, and the two enginges were identical in design and in similar engine houses. | Subjects: | Steam Engine Horizontal Steam Engine Colliery Industry | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | Watkins, George | Identifier: | http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.u... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
