The Colliery Shaft and Headgear - Easington Colliery

Photograph, taken from beneath the buffer of a locomotive, of the shaft headgear of Easington Colliery, showing the headgear in detail, and part of the colliery buildings; the caption to the photograph describes how Easington was one of the high output collieries in the North-East and how it produced over a million tons of coal a year; this fact and the style of the photograph suggests that it was a publicity photograph produced by the National Coal Board
