More information:

This image could have imperfections as it’s either historical or reportage.

We have provided an indication of when each photograph was taken but this is only intended as a guide. For instance, where an image is described as Victorian period or early 1900s, more detailed research might show that it is earlier or later than described. The location, where one is given, is taken from the caption that was on the original photograph when we purchased it and, as such, is probably accurate but may not be. Where an image is coloured, it is not a colour photograph. It was hand-coloured at the time it was originally published. The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive.

RF2E22041–Safety Lamps A safety lamp is any of several types of lamp that provides illumination in coal mines and is designed to operate in air that may contain coal dust or gases, both of which are potentially flammable or explosive.

Open flame lamps could ignite flammable gases which collected in mines, causing explosions and so safety lamps were developed to enclose the flame and prevent it from igniting the surrounding atmosphere. Flame safety lamps have been replaced in mining with
