Contact UsLimited Edition of Print No. 19a – Roof Collapse
This is one of a pair of prints: 19a and 19b
A roof collapse underground was a regular occurrence. They were sometimes as a result of an explosion or fire. This could prevent fresh air circulating, making the atmosphere toxic. From the 1970s miners carried a self-rescuer that gave at least one hours protection from the effects of carbon monoxide.
The bronze plaques 19a and 19b were sponsored by Leicestershire, Warwickshire, South Derbyshire & Kent Mining Groups and the Northwest Miners Heritage Association.
