Scope and Content Boiler, Boiler-House, 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. This is one of the two Penman Cornish-Type boilers in the Boiler-House. The chute feeds coal onto a chain-grate automatic stoker, a conveyor belt which takes coal into the firebox and acts as a grate as it is burned. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
