Pan Ha Around 1890
The old houses at Pan Ha, Dysart (still occupied) with St Serf's Tower and the chimney of the Lady Blanche Colliery behind them. The Lady Blanche (the Engine Pit ), was reported to be the first coal-mine in Scotland to use an engine to pump out water. The pit closed in 1924 and the adjacent Dysart Harbour closed in 1929, plunging the small town into economic decline. The photo is courtesy of the Dysart Trust. www.dysart-trust.org.uk
