Grove Colliery, Stepaside
Winding engine houses for Grove colliery. The original winder was on the left. It was replaced by a vertical winding engine located in a new house built to the right of the original building. This was probably installed when the shaft was deepened in 1873. Winding of coal ceased around 1884.
