MineName and dates
Drumshangie Colliery Pit No 6Served by the North Monkland Railway.
Description
This pit was not far south of Drumshangie Junction on the branch to the Drumshangie Colliery from the North Monkland Railway. It was on the east side of the branch, served from the north. The branch divided here with lines running south west to Drumshangie Colliery Pit No 9 and the other ran south east to Drumshangie Colliery Pit No 3 and, beyond, Drumshangie Colliery Pit No 1. A tramway continued from no 1 to Drumshangie Colliery Pit No 11.
The pit was closed by 1910.
Much of the area has been opencast and although the junction site still exists the branch and colliery site is largely obliterated.
