Pumping shaft, engine house and headgear, Hemingfield colliery
The engine house was built in the early 1840s, and both the steam engine and some of the stone were acquired secondhand from another pit. In 1934 the concrete headgear was added to the old pumping shaft and the building converted to a house. The site is now owned by the friends of Hemingfield Colliery who opened it on 14th September 2019 as part of the Heritage Open Days scheme. It is normally open two Saturdays a month, from 10am.
