The Grand Old Ladies of the coalmines

Before the miners descended to the 750-meters depth , they had to put on their miners' clothing and equip themselves with the safety equipment.

Their everyday clothes and belongings were hung on a cage and hoisted high.

Each miner had his own cage and the key of the lock was delivered to the doorman and collected at the end of the shift.
