Description: | This is an early type of miner's lamp, used around 1750 to 1850. The lamp was filled with oil, with a wick protruding from the spout. Spout lamps were used before the introduction of safety lamps in the early 1800s. They continued to be used 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 |
