Scope and Content Aerial view, Frances Colliery, Fife Frances Colliery was opened in about 1850 by the Fife Coal Company. It was almost totally reorganised in the 1940s, after which it employed over 1,100 people. It was connected to Seafield Colliery on the other side of Kirkcaldy in the 1980s. Unlike most collieries, Frances has only one headframe (above the Car Hall) and shaft. Ventilation and access to the underground workings is provided by a surface mine dug at an angle from ground level. Nearby Michael Colliery provides the drainage.
