Scope and Content Hot water heaters for Pithead Baths, Seafield Colliery, Kirkcaldy, Fife Seafield Colliery was sunk by the National Coal Board in 1954-66. It was one of five new super-pits and, in its heyday in 1970, employed 2,466 people. It was closed in 1988. These heaters provide hot water for the Pithead Baths where hundreds of men at a time take showers to wash off the dirt from a long shift working underground. After 1911, colliery owners were required by law to provide pithead baths for the miners so they could wash the coal dust off their bodies and out of their clothes before going home.
