Reclaimed in 1992-94 by Nottinghamshire County Council. In the early 1960's Linby was recognised as Britain's 'champion pit' and was the most efficient coal mine in Europe.

Linby Colliery
The upcast shaft steam winder house is on the right. Plenty of steam on a winter's day shows that this is a live steam winder. One of the last in the country.

The upcast shaft and its steam winder house are partly obscured by drifting steam. A sight that is gone forever.

Linby Colliery - upcast shaft steam winding engine
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).

Linby Colliery steam winder.
This is the larger of the two Robey winders at Linby and was built in 1922 with duplex cylinders 32" bore x 48" stroke and a parallel drum 12' diameter. This ran until 1988 and was subsequently scrapped. A driver's eye view in colour is here - Image
