Summary[edit]

Description
English: Old air shaft, Currymire This curious looking building covers encloses what was sunk as a winding shaft for a 2km long haulage road which was driven from the Haugh pit at Kilsyth in 1923 to exploit a 1.25m thick seam of coal. However mining lasted only 12 years due to geological faults (Whin dykes) hemming in the seam on one side and flood water from the abandoned Riskend workings which finished extraction from this valuable seam.
