0-6-0ST St Martin'' Fowler 0-4-0DM (works # 416002, built 1952) – this locomotive has been preserved. Barclay 0-6-0DM (works # 382, built 1955) – this locomotive previously worked at Chislet Colliery Railway. In the final days before closure the railway was worked by British Rail Class 08 shunter engines. Tilmanstone Work was commenced at Tilmanstone in 1911. An accident in 1913 killed three men and destroyed the pumping system, causing the mine to flood and work was abandoned for nine months. The site was connected to the East Kent Light Railway in 1915 and coal first brought to the surface in March 1916. An accident at the pit on 27 February 1931 resulted in Sydney William Padfield being awarded a bronze Edward Medal, the only one awarded in the Kent Coalfield. An aerial ropeway was built in 1930 to link the pit with Dover Harbour. This included tunnelling through the cliff at Dover to deliver the coal to a 5,000 ton bunker at the harbour. It wasn't used much after 1935, and was dismantled in 1954. In 1945, the workforce was 914, with 631 being employed sub-surface and 283 above. The colliery closed in 1988, having produced over 20,000,000 tons of coal. A system of tokens was used in the pithead baths and canteen and a lamp check was operated, in common with the majority of pits. All buildings have been demolished. Shafts sunk No 1. No 2. No 3. Failed sinkings Adisham A colliery was planned at Adisham. It was not commenced. Cobham A mine at Cobham produced a small quantity of brown lignite, although some bituminous coal had been found. It had been mined open-cast, the coal being used by Lord Darnley to heat Cobham Hall. Two drifts were dug into the hillside in 1947; at one point the mine was producing 80 tons per week. The mine closed in 1953 and the site cleared. Guilford The first test shaft was sunk in 1906, hoping to find the coal seams discovered under Waldershare Park. The East Kent Light Railway connected to the pit in November 1912. No coal had been found by 1918, and the colliery closed in the 1920s owing to geological problems. Two buildings remain at the site. Shafts sunk No. 1. No. 2. No. 3. Hammill (Woodnesborough) This site was located to the south of Woodnesborough. Work here was abandoned in 1914 without coal being
