Overview

History & significance

Clyne Wood Colliery Steam Winding Machine is a Post Medieval industrial monument located in Wales, designated under Cadw reference SAM GM469. The steam winding engine represents the technological infrastructure of coal extraction during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, forming part of the broader mechanisation of Welsh collieries during the industrial period. As a surviving example of pit winding machinery, the engine documents the engineering practices and industrial processes that characterised South Wales's coal mining industry at its height. The monument preserves evidence of the mechanical systems essential to deep mine operation, specifically the apparatus used to raise and lower both miners and extracted coal through the colliery shaft.
