Adrian,
The headgear at Murton was demolished in 94/95 but one you did miss was the
headgear at St Hilda`s shaft which was an egress and ventilation shaft for
the now closed Westoe Colliery. The building is listed and is at present
undergoing restoration work to return it to its former glory. There is also a
headgear and winding house at washington F Pit museum but as previously
mentioned on the list sunderland museum service has closed the museum to the
public.
If you are interested I can supply pictures of both St Hilda and F pit
headgears.
Mark
