Description: | Rolleys like this came into use in coal mines in the late 1700s. A large basket, called a corf, was filled with coal and put on top of the rolley. It was then pulled by two boys out of the workings to the mine shaft. Later horses were used to pull the rollies. | 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 |
