Work and play in Nailsea
The remains of the old colliery winding tower stands next to the modern children's play area. Nailsea's old mining history was largely forgotten until recent years, but is now part of the town's attractions. The tower is Grade II listed.

Old winding tower
Standing in what is now Scotch Horn children's play area is this old stone relic. It is a winding house that carried miners down to the local coal measures and alongside is a horse whim. Nailsea had lime kilns for many years before the good local coal allowed glassworks to be founded in 1788.

A window on the winding tower
The disused Middle Engine Pit colliery winding tower is open to the elements, leaving it on Historic England's 'At Risk' list. The pit opened in 1790 and provided work for many generations of villagers, but closed around the turn of the 1900s. The remains of the site and its buildings were largely neglected or demolished for the new town centre, but those that have survived are some of the finest nineteenth century colliery heritage in the country. Grade II listed.

Opening in the winding tower
Part of the Elms old colliery site (also known as Old or Middle Engine Pit) has survived the neglect and decay. The winding tower used to lower miners down the main shaft perhaps as far as 200 feet below.

A whim and a winding tower
This site in Nailsea's town centre was the former Elms Colliery, much of which is now a supermarket car park. The winding tower has survived the changes, along with the circular outline of a horse whim (capstan) on the ground. The small parcel of land between the supermarket and the playing field is also home to a children's play area.
