Monument record TR 35 SW 60 - Betteshanger Colliery

Summary

Betteshanger Colliery, Northbourne. The first shaft was sunk at Betteshanger by Pearson and Dorman Long in 1924 and the colliery operated until the 1980s when it became the last Kent pit to close. The buildings still standing represent the most complete remains of any Kent colliery, though winding gear, washery and several other buildings have been demolished. The extant buildings include the pit head baths which were built in 1934 and winding engine houses
