Title: | National Coal Board: Guides to the Collieries |
Description: |
The guides to the collieries (coalfields from 1951) give details of the structure of the National Coal Board's organisation including names of members of staff at Headquarters (with nominal indexes from 1949). Information concerning the structure of the Divisional organisation is also included. This is further refined to include information about Areas and Sub-Areas. There is detailed information about the collieries in each area including: type of mineral extracted arranged by quantity, and if coal, the type, the names of the seams, the numbers of men employed above and below ground, whether electricity is used underground for lighting or power, the names of the manager and the number and class of certificates held and the appropriate inspectorate division (with place names indexes from 1949). Key maps are located at the end of the section on each Division and more detailed maps showing the locations of collieries are found throughout the guides. Later volumes provide information about opencast mining, guides to suppliers and licensed mines. |
