Scope and Content Aerial view of Monkton Hall Colliery, Midlothian Monkton Hall Colliery was sunk in 1954-67 and was one of the National Coal Board's five Scottish super-pits. Coal production reached 5,000 tons per day in 1968. Most of the output went to Cockenzie Power Station. It was closed in 1997 and then demolished. In this aerial photograph, the colliery's main structures form a diagonal line from lower right to upper left: the Electrical Substation; the Fanhouse; Number 2 Winding Tower; and Number 1 Winding Tower with the Coal Preparation Plant to its left.
