This is Jennifer on a pit pony.
Here we are, waiting to go down the mine!
Alysha and Ellie are in the Working Man's Club!
Lloyd is holding a tally token. Miners wore these round their neck.
Ellie is holding some knee pads. Miners often had to crawl through the mine so their knees would get sore.
Rica is carrying a bait box (called a snap tin), a flask of water and her Davy lamp.
Shay is ready to start his shift!
We are standing next to the pit wheel.
This is Ellie in the bottom of pit.
This is ellie holding a bait box and token.
Nathan is wearing a miner's helmet. Abbie and Codie are looking at a miner's boot.
These are the original buildings of Woodhorn Pit.
Mrs Carolan enjoyed the trip, but she needed a little nap!
These are the tokens the miners would take down the mine. After their shift the miner would hang his token up on this board. If the token was missing then a miner was trapped down the mine.
These are the tubs that the coal was carried away in.
It took lots of us working together to be strong enough to push a tub!
This is a memorial to the miners who died in the Woodhorn mining disaster of 1922. There was an explosion underground and 13 men were killed.
