Summary

edit
Description
English: Penalta Colliery Still a working colliery in 1982. Large central power house, originally all steam. The brick building at the base of the right-hand head gear housed a large steam/compressed air winch. Now scrapped.

The pit had a modern high speed fan and we were taken in through the airlock to stand next to it on load.

Oh how I miss the 80s and the opportunities for serious "live" industrial archaeology!
