Description: | Photograph of an 1872 etching by artist Richard S. Chattock, of the working Buffery pit pump. The image shows a crude wooden pit frame and horse gin. The pump would probably have been used to pump out water that was constantly filling the mine shafts. The wooden engine beam can be seen at the top of the engine house. (The original etching was Plate XII from a set of sixteen etchings by the artist on India paper, of the coal and iron district of South Staffordshire). | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Dudley Archives | Rights holder: | Dudley Archives | Subjects: | Coal mining | Temporal: | [20th cent] | Source: | Black Country History | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
