Bersham Colliery No 2 Winding Gear is a nineteenth-century industrial structure located in Denbighshire, Wales, representing the technological infrastructure of coal extraction during the post-medieval industrial period. The winding gear formed a critical component of the colliery's operational machinery, serving to raise and lower both coal and workers within the mine shaft. This installation reflects the expansion of Welsh coal mining during the nineteenth century, when the region became increasingly important to Britain's industrial economy. The structure survives as physical evidence of the mechanical engineering and mining practices characteristic of the era, and is protected under the Cadw Scheduled Ancient Monument designation DE199.
