Description
A compact guide to the evolution of mines, from simple bell pits into extensive networks of shafts and tunnels and extending deep underground.
Author Geoffrey Hayes explores the methods and machinery relied upon by all of those involved in the extraction of coal, from the miners themselves to women, children and pit-ponies. The dangers associated with coal mining are described and illustrated, as well as the precautions taken against them.
