National Coal Mining Museum for England, Caphouse Colliery, Overton, Wakefield, West Yorkshire.
Pithead Baths, 1938.
By OH Parry.
Shower Area.
Many early baths had a tiled cubicle system for modesty, but open baths make it easier to share back washing.
Caphouse Colliery was sunk in the 1770s or 1780s. Sir John Lister Kaye of Denby Grange took over James Milnes' leases of the mineral rights in 1827. Lockwood and Elliott who owned Shuttle Eye Colliery had acquired the colliery by 1942. It was nationalised in 1947 and a drift mine opened in 1974. The colliery closed in 1985. The Yorkshire Mining Museum opened in 1988 and the museum became the National Coal Mining Museum for England in 1995.
Photographed at the Battery Hill Mine Museum. Tennant Creek has a rich history as a gold mining centre. Here was found one of the richest gold bearing seams ever mined in the world. Very remotely located in central Australian desert country, life was harsh for the people who lived here.
