Beam winder

19 Aug 2016 2 694
Scremerston Colliery near Berwick on Tweed was sunk c1840 and worked until 1944. On closure the winding and pumping enginehouses were retained in agricultural use although they now appear to have been abandoned for a long time. The winding enginehouse seems to have contained a beam engine winder and is now roofless. It is listed Grade II although the listing wrongly states that it was used for a pumping engine.
