Safety reminder board at Pleasley Colliery

Safety reminder board at Pleasley Colliery
Pictorial safety reminder board affixed to part of the pit top structure of the No.2 South Shaft at Pleasley Colliery. This is probably not its original location; most likely it would have been in a place readily viewed by the workmen on their daily route from arriving at the colliery to descending the shaft, e.g. from the time-office, via the pit-head baths and lamp-room, to the shaft top.

Boards and notices like this were common at British collieries. Often they were painted or drawn directly on to plywood boards, probably by talented colliery workmen.

Pleasley Colliery is situated just inside the Derbyshire border, about 5.5 km from the centre of Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. It is now a mining museum which is steadily being developed.
