Lamp Cabin Racks 9 pipes trailing across broken groundThe safety light storage racks inside the lamp cabin at Elrington Colliery, each lamp numbered and assigned to a miner at the start of every shift. When a man came up, his lamp came back. Any lamp still on the rack when the cage stopped running told the surface crew someone was still below ground. Part of the Elrington Colliery series.
