Adrian - Reference the North East mining engines, I wonder about Woodhorn
Colliery Museum, Ashington. Their pamphlet has a photograph of a winding
engine with visitors looking at it but there is no other mention. I have
not been there myself so I cannot comment further.
If 'mine engines' also includes 'crab' or 'jack' engines then the crab
engine from the former Silksworth Collliery, near Sunderland is currently at
Beamish Museum, for preservation.
Alan.
