1 gen 1675 anni - wood collier

Descrizione:

In early records the word ‘collier’ often referred to a charcoal burner. 1567-8 <i>John Wayed and Christopher Wayde colyeres agreed … to falle the underwood and ockes and saplynges,</i> Esholt (BAS10//245). However, in those parts of the West Riding where collier could mean coal-miner, the term wood collier had come into use by the sixteenth century: 1577 <i>Edward Hirste of Smithie Place</i>, <i>wood collier,</i> Honley (WBD/6/11); 1628 <i>Richard Coward, wood collier</i>, Thornhill (YRS35/21); 1675 <i>Robert Moore of Bradley yate, wood-colyer</i> (QS1). The term ‘charcoal-burner’ is on record in the North Riding from the seventeenth century but I have not found any early West Riding references. See collier.
