Wylam Colliery, Labour Book - Click for bigger imageThis page has been extracted from the Wylam Colliery Labour Book, 1801 to 1812. The book lists the names of men employed, the hours worked and payments owing to them. This particular page relates to men employed from the 13th October 1802 until the 27th October 1802. On the right hand side of the page a notification of what the men were employed to do is made. The book is one of a series that covers the period 1774 to 1872. The Labour Books form part of a large collection of material relating to Wylam Colliery and the Blackett family of Wylam in general. The collection, which has only partly been listed, is deposited with the Northumberland Archive Service.
