Scope and Content Boiler-House, Bilston Glen Colliery, Midlothian Bilston Glen Colliery, one of five super-pits opened by the brand new National Coal Board, was begun in 1952. Sinking was completed in 1963 and production peaked in 1970 when a workforce of 2,367 produced 4,000 tons of coal per day. It was closed in 1989. Bilston Glen's Boiler-House provides heating and hot water, especially for the Pithead Baths. Automatic machinery feeds the two boilers with coal, and carries ash to the hopper (left).
