This enamel notice specifying minimum safety standards at the Quarry Pit of Poynton Collieries dates from the 1890s. At that time this particular pit was working a localised two foot thick seam of coal. Production ended at Quarry Pit in 1907.

Lists of rules and regulations like this are fascinating! I'm sure it was terribly dangerous work for the miners even when they adhered to these minimum standards.
