Collieries constantly needed machinery and equipment, these would range from simple tools to major pieces of equipment, often these had to be custom built. This workshop was built in the 1950's to supplement the neighbouring Central Workshops. Following the colliery's closure the Colliery Workshop was converted to form British Coal's Archive for Scotland.
