Quotations from the guide book.
" I went to work in the pit about eight years old. I had sixpence a day. I was always very tired at night... we have many rats, they rob our bait bags and tear the candles..."
1841 PARLIAMENT PAPER REPORT ON COAL AND IRON MINES.
" In the coal mines, some boys are employed in bringing the coals in small carriages called dans, to the horse road, and others in pitching them into the carriages drawn by horses. The mines are too low for men to do such work. "
WILLIAM TRANTER: AGENT TO THE COALBROOKDALE COMPANY.

Awesomely captured! Love the lighting!!!
Wow! Alan, was the sky really that colour when we were there? I don't think I looked up much. Brilliant capture, the light is very good indeed. Excellent work. Bravo!!!!!
Wow, it appears to be operational. One expects overall-clad, helmeted miners to come walking right through this scene on their way to work.
Wow beautiful capture as is it interesting sweet day to you warm hug, Linda
