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.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

As a boy, Geoffrey Hayes was enthralled by stories of beam engines told by his two grandfathers. His father, as a new starter in a cotton mill, mopped the floor of an 1857 beam engine house every Saturday morning. A gift of Robert H. Thurston's book 'A History of the Steam Engine' intensified the interest in beam engines. Pilgrimages were made to Cornwall to see the surviving engines at he tin mines. Mr Hayes became involved professionally with the restoration of the Leicester beam engines and the Caprington Colliery engine in the Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh.
