Discovered this as I strolled around Gartmorn Loch near Alloa. Nestling amongst the undergrowth these are the remains of sherrifyards colliery which used to shuttle coal down to Alloa Docks.

Nice find. I like the fact it is so overgrown and returning to nature. Thanks for the photo's
Yes, I really like that about it too. I love that one window just sitting there on it's own.
Are we stalking each other, Neosea?
Get a room you two
Sorry, Spacepunk. To make up for it, I did a bit of research about Sheriffyards Colliery. The only scraps of info I found were on sites about walks and sight-seeing etc, but I found this link which gives a bit of interesting history.

No worries.
Great work in finding that info thanks, like you I could only find sites about walking etc as well.
Cheers.
