Scope and Content Winder, Number 1 Shaft's Winding-Engine 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. This is one of the two winding-engines that send skips up and down Number 1 Shaft. The operator sits in the control cabin at the back. The winding-drum is unusual because it is made up of welded components, rather than from a single casting. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
