| Description: | Bilston Glen Colliery near Loanhead, during construction 1956, Midlothian. In the distance to the south-west are the Pentland Hills consisting of volcanic rocks of Lower Old Red Sandstone age. Two new circular concrete-lined shafts were sunk to a depth of 2500 feet and the development of the coals was to be carried out from two main winding levels at 1900 and 2450 feet. Coal was loaded into large capacity mine cars and transported to the coal-winding shaft by locomotive. |
