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!

Penallta Colliery - steam winch
Horizontal duplex geared capstan built in 1887 by Llewellyn & Cubitt of Pentre and presumably installed here secondhand (Penallta was about 1906). This was an unusually big example with cylinders c16" x 33" and a 6' 2" diameter drum. This was in a separate and cramped engine house near the upcast shaft.
