A manual drill
A manual drill found whilst exploring Chatsworth Mine. The back of the drill would be struck numerous times with a sledge hammer creating a deep hole which would be filled with explosives. The charge would then be detonated allowing the miners to make further progress along the vein.
"Chairs"
Steel "chairs" found within one of the numerous passages throughout Chatsworth Mine. These brackets were used to secure the mining cart rail to the floor of the passages.
