When Hem Heath Colliery closed, the Shropshire Mines Trust were allowed to recover and preserve the emergency winder complete with drum. This was originally at Wolstanton.
It has been stored for a number of years, apart from a few working appearances at Onslow Steam Rally near Shrewsbury. It has now been loaned to Apedale Mining Museum at Stoke and will hopefully be working off compressed air soon. BTW the drum had not yet been replaced when the pics were taken.
