Short Heath Basin Built in 1906 by the Hollybank Colliery as a colliery wharf and landsale. A mineral railway was constructed directly from the pit in Essington to eliminate the locks on the Wyrley Branch of the Curly Wyrley. The facility remained in use until the closure of the Hilton Main Colliery in the late 1960s.

A landsale was a site where coal was stockpiled to meet seasonal demand with local sale to coal merchants.
