Mining the Past
Mr Carter, Rocks and lamps
Mr Coalman maps the mines
Drill that was used to make Props
Cramped conditions for miners.
there was not much room to work down the pit.
A hammer and chisel were used to make holes for explosive!
Yesterday Primary 5-6-7 had a visit from Mr and Mrs Carter and Mr Coalman. We learnt a lot about the mining history of Banton.
We will have more information on the Banton Biggies blog very soon.
