The East Pit was The Taylor's second or third pit in the area, situated just off the main lane between Lesbury and Shilbottle. This site was directly connected with the Shilbottle Waggonway, which ran from the site of Alnwick Railway Station providing an outlet for the product extracted from this site. It was a modest waggonway likely hauled by rope and gravity and/or horse given the nature of the hills in these parts. The shaft was on the west side of the site. The lane adjacent to the pit is still in use, and the roadside still expands to the previous route before it claimed part of the colliery site. This lane north is very likely the course of the original waggonway.
