Open questions: Falkirk

Where sources disagree, MineArchive keeps both accounts rather than picking one; where a fact could not be settled, the record says so. 7 such claims on 6 records. All regions.

Banknock Colliery

• The Cannerton Brickworks opened in 1932 using pit waste, employed nearly 100 in the 1960s and closed in 1982. (disputed)

Binniehill Colliery

• The Truck Commission's summary of John Watson's works recorded that at Slamannan poundage was charged and there was no store. (disputed)

Bridgeness Colliery

• The BGS mine-plans catalogue holds a Mining Remediation Authority abandonment plan titled 'Bridgeness' (catalogue 12910, Six Feet, Main & Smithy, dated 1941); the catalogue gives no location and the plan's details do not clearly tie it to this working, so it may belong to another of the same name. (uncertain)

Carriden Colliery

• Bairds and Scottish Steel owned the colliery in the 1930s. (disputed)
• Bairds and Scottish Steel owned the colliery in 1945-46. (disputed)

Carronhall Colliery

• The BGS mine-plans catalogue holds a Mining Remediation Authority abandonment plan titled 'Carronhall' (catalogue 13904, Lower Coxrod, dated 1945); the catalogue gives no location and the plan's details do not clearly tie it to this working, so it may belong to another of the same name. (uncertain)

Craigend Colliery, Maddiston

• The Lists of Mines give 812 employed in 1920 and 1923; the Falkirk Local History Society says over a thousand men and 1,100 tons a day by the 1920s. (disputed)
