Description: | This lamp is basically a candleholder with a reflector dish behind it. Before safety lamps were invented, all mines were lit by candles or oil lamps. Even after the introduction of safety lamps in the early 1800s, candle lamps remained in use in mines where no dangerous gases were present. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | living in the North East coal mining | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
