Description: | At one point Chatterley Whitfield was one of the most modernised pits in Staffordshire, and it remained the largest in the county. This double cylinder horizontal engine, by Worsley Mesnes Co of Wigan, 1914, was the winding engine for the 659 yard deep Hesketh Shaft. Production ceased in 1977 and two years later the site was converted into a museum which closed in 1993. | Subjects: | Steam Engine Colliery Industry | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | Watkins, George | Identifier: | http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.u... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
