Scope and Content Standby generator, Fanhouse, 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. If the National Grid Supply fails, this diesel-fuelled standby generator can generate electricity for the engines turning the fans sucking stale air out of Number 1 Shaft. The engine is a Type K57E made by British Polar Diesels LTD of Glasgow. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
