Description: | This document dates from 1825. It shows that the owners of Gosforth Colliery paid William Wilkinson 4 shillings (20p) for 'medicine and attendance' for colliery horses. Horses played an important part in mining. They pulled heavy waggons underground and were also used for transport on the surface before the widespread introduction of steam engines. It was vital for the owners of a colliery to look after their horses. | 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 |
