this is my great grandma whose husband died in the 1877 explosion at blundells colliery.She had to work as a cleaner in the Halfway House pub to make ends meet.After her husband's death she was awarded half a crown a week for each of her children and seven and six for herself.Oh! and the children's school money was paid 3d per week!!
