Carberry Colliery Pits Nos 2 and 3

Standing at the entrance to the former Carberry Colliery, East Lothian, in March 2019 looking west across the A6124 towards Whitecraig, with the Pentland Hills showing signs of the previous day's snowfall. Carberry colliery closed in 1960 with the area behind the camera later used for landfill. The level crossing was to the left of centre (note the surviving gate post) with the line then continuing through the field opposite, before turning south to reach the exchange sidings at Smeaton see image 36218.
