Colliery Stables & the Nottinghamshire Pit Pony by Janine Buckley

Description

Horses and ponies were employed in the mines from the 1750s spending 50 weeks of the year in darkness.  Their accommodations below ground have gone largely unrecorded and with no surviving colliery stables in Nottinghamshire, evidence for how they were constructed comes from newly recorded oral accounts and from photographic evidence.  46pp, illus.
