The Grand Old Ladies of the coalmines........

            After the miners putting on their work uniforms, the miners headed trough shadowy desolate corridors to the shaft, that brought them to the coal front to a depth of 750 meters.
These corridors were covered with a dirty layer of coal dust, so all the dust was pulled up and down trough the shaft mouths which were in open communication with the aboveground buildings. The miners saw the last daylight in these corridors The buildings and spaces around the shafts were filthy and dusty and could not compared to the impeccability of, for example, the compressor room.
But before we go down, we take a look from the outside of the arrangement of the buidlings of the above-ground mining company, so this will be all clear.
