Photograph Notes: Parkside was a modern deep colliery. Sinking started in 1957 and production in 1959. It was closed in 1993. It had two prominent winding towers 200' high and this view was near the top of one of them where there was this multi-rope Koepe type friction winder. This was driven by electric motor and had hydraulic caliper brakes. This is one of the very few electric winders that I photographed. I was actually there to photograph the large compressed air operated rope changing winches much further down the towers.
