Description: | This is a pair of miner's boots. They are made of strong leather and have wooden soles. The toes are reinforced with steel caps, and there is a metal strip round the edge of the soles, a bit like a horseshoe. This protects the wood from being worn down, and also prevents the miner from slipping on wet ground. These boots were worn in a coal mine at Denton Burn, Newcastle upon Tyne.
