Niddrie Bing

This bing is the remains of Niddrie Colliery, Nos. 8, 12 & 13 pits. It is a mix of tip waste, demolition rubble and the spoil from constructing the nearby drive-to shopping sheds on the site of Niddrie Brickworks and Newcraighall Colliery.
A rather optimistic road runs towards the tip and then terminates, as if someday someone will stabilise and flatten this site and put more shopping sheds, car parks or tiny houses on it.
