Pitt No 3

[John Cairns]

Hi I am new to this forum, My Grandfather and Great Grandfather both worked in a coal mine in or about Annbank from 1880-1920. They lived in Stair. I am looking for information about this mine known as No 3 Pitt.

I am writting a book on the history of a coal mine in New Zealand and would like to know more of his work before he came to NZ.

Thanks John.

Number 3 pit was Mossblown near Annbank, I hope that this helps.

Hi

My great uncle Denis Neeson worked at 3 Mossblown pit, he was killed in the mine on the 1 October 1913 the Register of Corrected Entries say he was killed in an accident by being crushed between a cage and the scaffold at the Pitmouth this was the verdict of the jury. He was 20 years old.

The best source of information, in general, about coal mining and miners lives, is Alan Campbell's The Lanarkshire Miners, which has many references to Ayrshire. And, of course, the miner's lives, work etc were very similar. You might find it in a large university library. Terri

pit was 9 and 10 drumley pit was 5, when pits were taken over 1947
they became achencruive 2-3 enterkine 9-10 drumley closed shaft fell
in. mossblown miners rows were called pole row and long row,over
railway line two rows were called new row and the cottages. i lived at
