Description: | A wooden sled about 200 years old. It was found in the hollows of an old and unrecorded "thin" coal mine in Shropshire (the Rock near Dawley). The sled would have usually been pulled by women or children from the coal faces to the shaft bottom. The sled is 30 inches long, 22 inches wide and 14 inches wide. Part of the leather harness appears in the foreground.
