Monday's header of the local miners

Miners about to go underground late 1890s at either 'A' Pit or 'C'Pit.No special clothing supplied like workmen get today, just old clothes from home. No safety helmets to protect their heads just a cap possibly stuffed with some rags, because bumping your head down the pit was common .
