Hulme's Pit alongside the river Tame in Denton. It is reputed to have opened in c.1730 but it is known that it was operated by the Fletcher family (Denton Colliery Company) who eventually used it as a pumping station to drain water from their mine workings. A beam engine was installed here before 1834, prior to the pit being taken over by Denton Colliery It was used for both winding (men and coal) and pumping. It raised water from a depth of 420 feet at a boiler pressure of five pounds per square inch. Steam was supplied by two Cornish boilers. In the early 1920s it was recorded that it removed eight gallons of water per stroke at six strokes per minute. It worked 4½ hours a day, 7 days a week and it consumed three tons of coal per week. This means that it raised 4,730,400 gallons of water from the workings of Denton Colliery every year for a coal consumption of 156 tons. The pit closed in 1929/30, at the same time as Denton Colliery, and the beam engine was scrapped in the early 1930s. All the buildings associated with the pit were subsequently demolished but the surviving stone foundations of the pit were excavated in the 1970s.

The engine building was created in 1901. Inside you find a steam hoisting machine dating back to 1900, launched two years later. It served the neighboring mine shaft – „Oppurg” (later called „Głowacki").

The east ramp of Furkapass leads down in the valley of river "Rotten" (which means Rhone) and to the village "Gletsch". The opposite slope shows the Grimselpass road, which we will take next.

The Lady Victoria Colliery was regarded as a show-piece pit when it was opened in 1894 by the Lothian Coal Company. The 2400 hp winding engine was made by Grant Ritchie & Co Ltd, Kilmarnock. It is twin cylinder horizontal with 42" diam steam jacketted cylinders, 7' stroke, and Cornish drop valves. The winding drum is 20' diam and 10'6" wide and was replaced by Andrew Barclay Sons & Co in 1964. The brakes were also replaced by Barclay in 1953.

One of the most beautiful and impressive mountain pass roads is the historic "La Tremola", the old south ramp on Gotthard pass, which was built at the begin of 19. century. 1) It's mostly original cobblestone, 2) it has fantastic serpentines, 3) there is a new road, so the old one is rather lonesome! - scanned slide, Minolta X700
