Hi, Woolmit is in Newton Parish and there were several pits there and some were owned by Niddrie and Benhar Coal company. During the 1926 strike two pits No's 10 and 11 at Woolmit were flooded and never re-opened.. The flooded dooks cast water up and created a burn which ran from Woolmit to Newcraighall and was at the bottom of our garden when I was a kid. The road was called the Well Road. Further up where the Well Road joined the main road, was Niddrie Cottages also belonging to the Niddrie and Benhar Coal Co. Just beside them was the Niddrie Brickworks (owned by the same co I think) and further down the road to Newcraighall village was the Klondyke pit (N&Bcoal Co) , which had a large rectangular bing as opposed to the normal peaked one. It went out under the Forth and lots of fossil fish were brought up by the miners. We had two complete tree fossils in the garden The flooded workings of Nos10 & 11 were kept at bay by a seam of whin between them and the Klondyke. Niddrie itself was further in towards Edinburgh and had a line of cottages called The Jewel Cottages at Niddrie Cross. I think there is a modern housing complex called "The Jewel" there today. Woolmit Colliery was a relatively modern pit. Bill Scott
