Scope and Content Canteen, 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 is the Canteen in 1988. The official brochure of the 1960s redevelopment describes it as 'up-to-date' and states that meals could be 'obtained at moderate charges'. It sold chewing tobacco because smoking underground would be a fire risk. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
