Scope and Content Remains of incline to earlier Car Hall, 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. The triangular building originally served as a ramp to take tubs to the upper level of the now-vanished earlier Car Hall from an earlier drift mine. Like the surrounding buildings, it is now used as a store. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
