Highhouse Colliery

Highhouse Colliery
This pit was sunk in 1894 and operated until 1983. The preserved headframe is of unusual design and replaced a wooden structure c1968. The winding house beneath contains a steam winding engine built c1896 by Grant, Ritchie and Co Ltd, Kilmarnock.

Berny, Aschi "Freestone", Gerrit Fischer have particularly liked this photo
