1 gen 1601 anni - coal carrier
Descrizione:
When Thomas Drake of Shelf died in 1601 he was described as <i>cole carrier</i> (YRS24/53) and since there were coal-pits in the township he seems likely to have earned his living by carrying coals to customers, probably on the back of a pony. It was more usual then for the customer to collect his coal at the pit.
