Zeche Westfalen

Shafts 1 & 2 of Zeche Westfalen at Ahlen were sunk from 1909 and the first coal raised in January 1914. Mining here ended on June 30th 2000 and these are the only two of seven headframes that this mine once had at a number of locations in the area. Some of the surface building have been preserved or have found new uses.
