Lady Victoria Colliery
Another of the information panels attached to the perimeter fence of the Scottish Mining Museum. Of particular note is the seldom photographed high level conveyor system shown on the right. This was part of the improved transshipment facilities introduced during the NCB era to handle coal arriving via the Easthouses tramway. The conveyor brought the coal from a discharge hopper in the north west corner of the site up to the pit head for washing, screening and loading into standard gauge wagons pending disposal via the exchange sidings.
