Description: | This is a sample of wire rope made by Dixon, Corbitt and Company. The company was established in Gateshead in 1840. This is an example of a colliery haulage rope, made from galvanised steel wire. Collieries in the North East had a high demand for ropes for winding, lifting and pulling. Before the invention of wire rope they used fibre ropes, which Dixon, Corbitt and Company also made.
