Originally abutting the pithead, the first of these buildings housed the Grant Ritchie steam engine, which was used for sinking the shaft. This engine was then converted for underground haulage and drove an endless rope to the pit bottom, which in turn drove haulage ropes in the roadways. The other buildings in the range were for making and repairing pit props.
