Description: | Two miners digging for coal. The thick coal was usually over thirty feet thick so was often worked first in the lower half and later in the upper section as shown. Note the wooden pit props holding up the coal seam and the cramped conditions the miners had to work in. The location of the mine is unknown. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Dudley Archives | Rights holder: | Dudley Archives | Subjects: | Coal mining | Temporal: | [c1900] | Source: | Black Country History | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
