Description: | This helmet was worn by a mine sinker in Victorian times. It is made of thick leather and has a protective flap at the back. It was used at Seaham Colliery in County Durham. The sinker plans and directs the sinking of a shaft, which is the means of access from the surface to the seam of coal underground. | 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 |
