Julia colliery; Fabero - Northern Spain

500 hp 2 stages Worthington compressor.
Julia colliery was decommissioned and flooded in 1991 after 40 years of service. The facilities are preserved in an acceptable condition. Either the british made winding engine and the 3 Worthington compressors have been preserved. Nowadays a former miners asociation is collecting resources and working towards to open a museum in a near future.
