Manor Powis Colliery (1914-1972)Served by the Stirling and Dunfermline Railway.
Description
This colliery was sunk between 1911 and 1914 by the Manor Powis Coal Company. It was equipped with Baum washers.
The colliery was served from the west by sidings from the Stirling and Dunfermline Railway. A signal box was installed in 1913.
A drift mine was opened to the south east in 1954, connected to the colliery by a narrow gauge line.
The railway east to Cambus was singled in 1958. Manor Powis became a loop when the line west to Stirling North signal box was singled in 1972, on closure of the colliery.
The box and loop closed in 1985, line closed in 1994 and re-opened in 2008. The colliery site remains vacant and the bing material has been reused.
