Description: | This very short wooden stool is called a cracket. It was made at Marley Hill Colliery, County Durham, using oak deals from coal tubs. When the height of the seam permitted, the hewer could sit down on the cracket while he was breaking the coal out of the ground. | 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 |
