Scope and Content Winding-engine, Winding-Engine House, 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. Cables from this winding-engine's drum run over the pulleys at the top of the headframe and down to the cages in the shafts. The control cabin is on the left of the picture.
