One of Brotton Lumpsey Mine in 1920s. Police and Mine security out in force. Possibly linked to the General Strike in 1926, except that after World War I, Constables and Sergeants wore helmets. Eric Johnson suggests they could be Special Constables. (photo courtesy of Derick Pearson)
Another dawing by Mr Harrison, look at all those pit props carefully drawn.
A lovely clear photograph of Lumpsey mine at Brotton. Some ruins of the buildings still remain with the shaft being capped off.
The Mine Manager and various Officials of Lumpsey Pit. Standing (L to R): ??, ??, ??, ??, ??. Seated (L to R): Mr. Clough (Engineer), Mr. Dixon (Manager), ??. Can anybody name the rest?
Three men in rather a dangerous position, does anyone know when the minehead gear was replaced? Simons book dates this photo to around 1900 This picture shows work being carried out on the upcast headgear about 1900 which was a wooden construction. It was replaced by a smaller steel structure in 1937. Thank you Simon chapman for this information
What more can I say about this photo the heading says it all.
Named and dated again, but can you name any of the men?
A lovely clear photo dated and named.
The caption says where it is and what date it is so who am I to argue?
A lot of tubs waiting to go to the Iron and steel works and the pit props waiting to go down into the mine. |
