Haulage engine underground, drawing
Davies, William John (Chopper)
(artist)
Crayon/pastel on paper drawing of a haulage engine underground at Six Bells Colliery. This was the job that Chopper was doing and therefore is his view during his working shift. The engine appears to be bringing in a journey of drams through a 'double parting' (i.e. a place where journeys of drams could pass another one). Signed 'Chopper' bottom right. Undated. Mounted, framed and glazed.
