Scope and Content Pulley at top of Number 3 Shaft's headframe, Barony Colliery, Ayrshire Barony Colliery's Shafts 1 and 2 opened in 1910 under Bairds and Dalmellington Ltd. Shaft 3, planned in 1938, opened in 1945. Shaft 2 collapsed and Shaft 1 was filled in 1962. Production halted until 1965 when shaft 4 was sunk. The mine closed in 1989. A cable from the Winding-Engine House at the foot of the headframe runs over this pulley to the cage in the shaft. This carries men and materials, and lifts coal from the pit bottom.
