coal breaker - boots

I'm getting toward the end of my Saint Nicholas Coal Breaker pictures.

These were the benches from the Coal Breaker, where the workers would place their boots before entering the showers. It still has boots, as you can see, which adds a glimpse of the human footprint which once was common there and an extra eerie sense of humanity, as if it were used just yesterday.
