Scope and Content First stage of coal preparation plant from top of Number 1 Winding Tower, 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. The covered belt conveyor (lower right) carries raw coal from the pithead at the top of Number 1 Shaft to the Coal Preparation Plant where it is washed, sorted and processed prior to sale.
