Here you can see a share of Erin colliery. In earlier times the collieries have
not been united in one large company, yet, so that most of them were run by
special limited companies with the same names as the corresponding collieries.
Because of that Erin colliery was run by the Erin Limited Mining Company and it
was situated in the city of Castrop-Rauxel in Germany.
Thank you very much for the picture to Hajo

mining industry and the Ruhr area at
