One winding house and head gear photographed from the foot of the other head gear. I'm stood on a high stone wall that formed the lower level of the original winding house. Two compressed air rope changing winches are down out of sight in the foundations. To my annoyance we missed a third winch that was presumably near the foot of the other head gear (should have looked). Looking back, it's amazing how the colliers accepted strange people wandering around their pits carrying cameras.
