Elms Colliery, Nailsea - North Somerset (UA)
Known locally as Middle Engine Pit, this is one of the most complete examples of an early C19 colliery in England. However the surviving structures are in a poor and vulnerable condition. In 2019 Historic England grant-aided a programme of investigations, recording and stabilisation to some of the most vulnerable structures on site.
