Description:Lantern slide showing the interior of a colliery winding house and two pit workers. The identity of the colliery is unknown.
This lantern slide appears to be one of a group used for a presentation or slide show by Blake entitled “Staffordshire Pottery.”
A small folder containing approximately sixty reader cards was found in the same box as the slides. The cards contain information about the images. The card that appears to correspond to this slide reads;
"Colliery Winding House. Showing the huge drum which carries the weight of rope, cage, and freight (miners or mineral)."
