Bettisfield enginehouse
The Bettisfield Colliery Co Ltd opened this pit in 1872. It was the largest and most important of at least 11 collieries in the Bagillt area. In 1896, there were 538 men employed including 100 surface workers, producing House and Steam coal. The main winding shaft was 290 yards in depth and 17ft in diameter. The business was sold as a going concern in 1897 to S.W. Higginbottom and then passed to the Bagillt Coal Co Ltd in 1904. Mold Collieries Ltd had control by 1913 and in November 1915 they formed Bettisfield Colliery Ltd which had a workforce of 450 men in 1919. It closed at the end of 1933.
After closure most of the site was cleared apart from the main winding enginehouse and winding shaft area which were occupied by a plant hire and scrap metal business. Today the site is still in use as a scrap yard and the enginehouse which once held a pair of 32 inch winding engines is steadily deteriorating.
