Winding engine
The Lady Victoria Colliery was regarded as a show-piece pit when it was opened in 1894 by the Lothian Coal Company. The 2400 hp winding engine was made by Grant Ritchie & Co Ltd, Kilmarnock. It is twin cylinder horizontal with 42" diam steam jacketted cylinders, 7' stroke, and Cornish drop valves. The winding drum is 20' diam and 10'6" wide and was replaced by Andrew Barclay Sons & Co in 1964. The brakes were also replaced by Barclay in 1953.
