Scope and Content Cages serving Number 3 shaft, 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. This shows two of the four cages serving Number 3 Shaft. When the gates are opened, the mine cars roll out to be emptied in the Car-Hall and then returned to cages to be sent back down to the pit bottom to collect more coal.
