What name would have been given to those who laid the rails for the pit wagons? If my memory serves me correct, we called them Platelayers in Notts. |

Hi all
Not down the pit but at a sand and gravel quarry, I worked with an old belt tender who worked at the pit before coming to the quarry. He made up his own job title for looking after conveyor belts.."Minerals conveyencing manager" I think this was more of his pit humour
Cheers
Roger

Origonally that would have been a "switchman" Roger, later to become belt patrol man.
