Arniston Colliery Emily Pit

Embankment in the woods. Scene to the west of Gorebridge on 10 April 2016. On the right is the walking route that now runs south from Engine Road, around a quarter of a mile to the north, with a cordoned off 'danger area' beyond occupied by a smouldering bing. Just off picture to the left is the A7. The embankment carried the mineral line linking the Arniston Engine and other pits in the area, with the exchange sidings alongside the Waverley route to the west of Gorebridge station on the north side of the Gore Glen.
