Description: | This wooden sledge was found at Shiremoor Colliery. It dates from around 1730. It is an early means of transporting coal to the surface. The coal was loaded into a large basket, called a corf, which was put on top of the sledge. Pushing the sledge was often a job for children at that time. | 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 |
