Description
Excerpt from The Miners' Unions of Northumberland and Durham
The church was the pioneer in all mining enterprise. It needed lime for its building, and coal for the lime kilns. Soon the pitmen, servants for the most part Of the abbeys or of that powerful prince the Bishop of Durham, began to work deeper seams. They learned from the lead-miners a new word, shaft. They re placed the ladder by a Windlass, a skep, and a rope.
