Linby Colliery - upcast shaft steam winding engine
Image: © Chris Allen Taken: 20 Feb 1988
By Robey of Lincoln, 1922. Scrapped 1989. The other winder survives at Papplewick Pumping Station and was removed 1983. The picture shows a driver's eye view. I suspect this was the occasion when our party got a chance to drive this engine (nothing or nobody in the cages I hasten to add).
