Ram Hill Colliery
Ram Hill Colliery, () was a privately owned colliery in the Coalpit Heath area north-east of Bristol, England. It operated between about 1825 and 1865.
==General description==
Ram Hill Colliery was sunk sometime between 1820 and 1830. It was owned by the Coalpit Heath Company, which included Sir John Smyth as a shareholder. Sir John was one of the main proponents of the Bristol and Gloucestershire Railway, which linked the pit and others in the area to Cuckolds Pill in Bristol.〔Peter Lawson, ''Walking the Dramway'', Tempus Publishing Limited, Stroud, 2006, ISBN 07524 4134 5〕 At this date workable coal was dependent on a means of transport to market, so that the railway and the pit were interdependent.
Ram Hill was 558 ft deep and was originally worked by a horse gin, the remains of which were still visible in 2006. In later years it was worked by a beam engine. The pit was linked under ground to Churchleaze and Rose Oak Pits, forming the hub of 19th century coal mining in Westerleigh parish.
